<\/p>\nYear 8 students last year participated in a two day, overnight connected curriculum program on the school oval referred to as \u2018tent city\u2019 or \u2018slum survivor\u2019. Year 8 students this year will also participate in this program in term 4.<\/p>\n
In support of this inaugural program last year at the Fort, I decided to participate in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout. The community support around this was extraordinary and donations reached over $20 000 so I have decided to participate in this again. This winter I will spend one of the longest, coldest nights on the streets sleeping under a cardboard box to help raise money for people experiencing homelessness. Homelessness can affect anyone \u2013 women, men and children. It has devastating consequences for individuals and families. But you can help!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Support me during the Vinnies CEO Sleepout and your donations will help the St Vincent de Paul Society empower more people to get off the streets and into stable accommodation. Vinnies provides counselling, education, health and employment services to help people to lift themselves out of the cycle of poverty.<\/p>\n
Every donation is meaningful. Just 100 dollars can provide a whole family with a warm, nutritious meal this winter. Together we can combat homelessness in our community. Please help me raise funds today! The impact of your generosity will be felt well beyond the 22nd<\/sup> of June.<\/p>\n The Vinnies CEO Sleepout happens for just one night, but it raises vital funds to support people all year round.<\/p>\n If you are so inclined you can visit my donations page at<\/p>\n
