St Michael’s Mini Vinnies ‘Stay Out’
On Friday the 3rd of August St Michael’s Primary Kaleen began the day with a non-uniform day in exchange for winter woollies donations for St Vincent de Paul. The enormous pile of clothing/blankets and various warm woollies was truly staggering and challenged the capacity of the van that came to do pick up.
St Michael's Principal Patick Ellis said that the school had an amazing turn out at their first Mini Vinnies 'Stay Out'.
"It was a great experience; from the Night Patrol Van, to learning about the serious issue of homelessness, to hot soup and a mini ‘Sleep Out’ experience," he said.
"Everyone participated with enthusiasm and the night was a huge success with the school community raising a massive monetary donation for St Vincent de Paul."
