ST VINCENT DE PAUL CHRISTMAS APPEAL
St Joseph’s School has always been strong supporters of the annual St Vincent De Paul Christmas Appeal. The response to our Christmas campaign has always been outstanding, ensuring that the families in our local area can enjoy Christmas more comfortably. The continual rise in the cost of basic commodities and services, has meant that many families are in need of assistance. Therefore, we will once again support our local St Vincent De Paul Society in their Christmas Appeal.
This year each class will be given an item to donate to the appeal. Students are encouraged to be involved in purchasing their item, understanding that their contribution, together with others from our school, will make a real difference to someone's Christmas this year. Items can be placed in the baskets located in each classroom or mentor room.
We will present a hamper to SVDP representatives at our end of year mass. Below is a list of items for each class to contribute.
- Prep - sweet biscuits
- Year 1 - savoury biscuits
- Year 2 - pasta or rice
- Year 3/4 - long life milk or long life custard
- Year 5/6 - sauce - tomato, bbq etc OR tinned fruit
- Year 7 - spreads eg jam, Vegemite, peanut butter
- Year 8 - beverages eg. tea, coffee, hot chocolate etc
- Year 9 - sauces for rice or pasta dishes eg. pasta sauce, Chicken Tonight
- Year 10 - juice, poppers, cordial OR sugar
- Year 11 and 12 - monetary donation for the purchase of meat vouchers.
Many thanks in anticipation of your support of this very worthy appeal.
