In Term 3 Carroll College will be taking part in the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal. Mr Paul Hamer’s Year 9 RE class will be driving the Appeal this year and they will be planning and facilitating fund-raising activities during the term. The students will have more information to share about their goals for the Appeal, however families are certainly welcome to donate goods to the school at any time and we will ensure they are donated to our local St Vincent de Paul conference. The request for donations from SVdP include:

• Gloves
• Socks
• Jackets
• Beanies
• Blankets
• Sleeping bags
• Non-perishable food.

The Vinnies Winter Appeal aims to help people at risk of or are already experiencing homelessness by providing emergency relief, outreach and support. Your participation will help ensure that families get the financial and emotional support they need to keep themselves and their children safe.

More information will be forthcoming from Mr Hamer and his students early in Term 3 and I encourage students and families to support their efforts wholeheartedly.
