Vinnies Winter Appeal

“On Thursday 20 June, SCS Director Anthony Cleary participated in the annual CEO Winter Sleepout organised by Vinnies. This event specifically raises money for those who are homeless. Anthony represented the 147 schools in our system. Every dollar raised can make a huge difference in the lives of those in need. Like many staff who work in SCS, Anthony first became involved in social outreach to the homeless when he was studying to become a teacher. That was in 1984, and he has been involved ever since. Should you wish to know more, or to further support Anthony in his fundraising efforts, please go to the direct link .Your consideration of this worthy cause is greatly appreciated.” (Anthony Cleary, SCS Director, Mission & Identity Directorate)

Thank you for supporting this appeal, in which Domremy Staff and Students raised $1,250. This was from the sale of doughnuts in Week 3 and the Mufti Day in Week 4. We are grateful for the continued support of the Village Sourdough Bakery Five Dock, who were generous in providing the 100 doughnuts at cost price, so the students from the Social Justice Group could sell them at lunchtime. Thank you to Mrs Claudia Carbone and Miss Cristina Peros for the organisation of this venture. Special thanks to the Year 12 Leadership Team for their contribution to running around and collecting the gold coins on Friday 23 August – thank God for their youth and vitality! Amazing how quickly they performed the task. To all who contributed, your donation goes towards sponsorship of the CEO Winter Sleepout.

Mrs Jane Sullivan, Religious Education Coordinator
