With winter well and truly upon us, our school community once again looked at ways to support the St. Vincent De Paul Annual Winter Appeal.

Teen Vinnies promoted and encouraged students to participate in the Lip Sync Battle where students and teachers could perform, dance and lip sync to their favourite tunes. A donation of tinned food was the entry fee for participants and audience members.

Primary students were encouraged to bring along cans to their classes, where a final tally will be taken culminating in a pizza lunch for the class with the most cans.

Jelly Bean guessing was for Secondary students, with every can brought in, a guess could be made.  

A sausage sizzle was held in conjunction with the finals of the Lip Sync Battle, where students saw a great display of dance and lip syncing.

Thanks to John Mahoney, Teen Vinnies and School Prefect Melissa Petroccitto for all their efforts in co-ordinating all these great events and ideas.  We have enjoyed performances from all ages and witnessed some exceptional talent.

Supporting the Winter Appeal enables staff and students to live out our Mercy values in the simpliest of ways, through assisting the poor, showing compassion, and ensuring dignity to those in need.

We have donated to date well over 600 cans with a final drop off happening this week.

Well done and congratulations - an amazing effort !
