St Joseph’s School has always been strong supporters of the annual St Vincent De Paul Christmas Appeal. This year our focus for giving will be on our farming families experiencing tough times in drought conditions. While what we give will only be a small donation, our purpose will be to let these families, many of who have students at St Joseph’s School,  know that we are thinking of them. 

Mini Vinnies and Teen Vinnies will be encouraging students to donate items of food (non-perishable), or cash  ($5 or $10) that will be used to purchase vouchers from local businesses, and will be used to make up hampers that will be given to families for Christmas. Food items and monetary donations will be handed over to our local St Vincent de Paul conference at our final school liturgy. 

We are very mindful that many of our own families are struggling this year and we understand if not everyone can donate.  

Primary students can bring their cash (in an envelope) or food item to their class rooms for collection. Secondary students can bring their donations to their PC teachers.

Many thanks in anticipation of your support and generosity of this very worthy appeal.
