On Wednesday last week Year 3\4 and 5\6 participated in a  Social Justice Day, with Wez a youth development officer from the St Vincent De Paul Society.

Wez (from Vinnies) taught us about homelessness, refugees, migrants, asylum seekers and the ways Vinnes helps these groups of people and other people all over Australia and the world. We learnt about the different types of homelessness. We learnt about the shops that Vinnies have, and all the amazing things they do and how big the society has gotten. And the ways that we can help out homeless and disadvantaged people.

Everybody had a great day and enjoyed the activities Wez planned for us. Both classes hope to organise some fundraising activities to help ”Vinnies” throughout the coming year.
