Alongside 4 Vinnies volunteers, these children (ranging from the ages of 5-11) were invited to experience a day out and participate in many activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We began our day with a morning tea served on Cerdon Plaza, where we were able to meet and become \u2018buddies\u2019 with each child. Following this, the student volunteers led the children in two icebreaker activities. For the rest of the day, we entertained the children by participating in multiple sport activities, such as bin ball, skipping, handball, bullrush, and Just Dance. After lunch, we concluded the day with an arts and craft session, where the children were able to create their own foam dolls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The children extremely enjoyed their time at Marist Sisters\u2019 College Woolwich, and it was a privilege for the student volunteers to participate in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vinnies Buddy Day<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. This event was an exciting day to facilitate and even watching the children leave in happiness was a great accomplishment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We would also like to extend our gratitude to Ms Vu, Ms Kleist, Ms Colreavy and Mr Neubronner for helping to oversee the event and we thank Marists in Action (MIA) for helping us organise the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"highlight\" style=\"text-align: left\"><i style=\"font-size: 1.4rem\"><em>Ava Turnbull, Liturgy Captain<br \/>\nKatelyn Lopes and Isabelle Mourani, Social Justice Captains<\/em><\/i><\/div>\n<div data-block-enewsletter=\"text\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"row enewsletter-text-block\" data-block-enewsletter=\"text\">This article on College life meets The Archbishop&#8217;s Charter for Catholic Schools &#8211; Charter #1, #2, #8\u00a0<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday 15 October, 14 students from MSCW volunteered to host Vinnies Buddy Day for 10 children.
