Vinnies Christmas Appeal 2026

30 October 2026

Dear Parents/Carers and Students

Vinnies Christmas Appeal 2026

As Christmas approaches, many of us look forward to celebrating with family and friends. However, for many people in our community, this season can be a time of uncertainty and hardship. With the rising cost of living and housing pressures, an increasing number of people in Sydney are at risk of homelessness and struggling to meet their basic needs.

We invite anyone who is able to contribute to this important cause. Your generosity will help provide much-needed resources, including hamper food items, toiletries and essential items, while also offering hope and dignity to those doing it tough this Christmas.

Collections for the Vinnies Christmas Appeal will be on from now until Friday 4 December (Week 8). Please bring in your items to your Homeroom to be collected by the Vinnies team.

Every donation, no matter how small, can make a meaningful difference in the life of someone in need.

Thank you for your generosity, compassion and support of this worthy cause. Together, we can help make Christmas a little brighter for those who need it most.
