Vinnies Winter Appeal
Vinnies Schools SleepOUT
A major fundraiser for the St Vincent de Paul Society is the Winter Sleepout.
Last year, St Agnes' Secondary Schools raised $3000.00 to support people sleeping rough during winter.
What is a Vinnies School Sleepout?
A Vinnies School Sleepout allows students and school communities to participate in an experiential event.
Participants construct their own bedding and shelters out of cardboard, a cup of soup, and bread for dinner. They will brave the cold for one night while learning about some of the harsh realities faced by those experiencing homelessness and disadvantage.
It encourages students to understand homelessness more deeply while raising funds and awareness for Vinnies Homeless Services and Programs in the local area.
This year, the Vinnies winter sleepout takes place on:
Friday, the 2nd of August,
at Mackillop College Senior Campus.
Arrive at 6:00 pm and Depart 7:30 am
Participants will need to be dropped off and picked up by their parents or guardians.
If you are interested in participating in the Vinnes SleepOUT, click on the link below to register.

Encounter Kick-on’s (Sunday’s after the 5pm Mass)
New Group: Encounter Kick-on’s. Now that we’ve moved the Youth Group to Friday nights, we want to ensure that there is a space for the youth who once could make the Sunday night Encounter, to have fun and fellowship. So, each Sunday after the 5:00pm Youth Mass there will be a large group game and supper for all young people.
