Ms McMurray and the Vinnies CEO Sleepout

You may have heard that in Term 4 2022, Year 8 will be participating in a two day, overnight connected curriculum program on the school oval sometimes referred to as ‘tent city’ or ‘slum survivor’.

In support of this inaugural program at the Fort, I have decided to participate in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout on 23 June 2022.

This is an annual event to raise vital funds for people experiencing homelessness or at risk of finding themselves without a safe place to call home.

Every dollar we raise goes to Vinnies’ services, which include food, accommodation, education, counselling, employment and health programs.

I’ll be joining business, government and community leaders across Australia in sleeping out. Our goal is to ensure that Vinnies’ vital services can stay up and running – meeting the increasing demand due to COVID-19, job losses, sky-rocketing costs of living, along with other social and economic pressures keep homelessness on the rise.

I would greatly appreciate your support for this important cause. The Vinnies CEO Sleepout happens for just one night, but it raises vital funds to support people all year round.
