Schoo of Curiosity (Years 3 & 4) Vinnies Presentation
πβ¨ Our students had the privilege of hearing from Vinnies, who shared an inspiring presentation about social justice, homelessness, and supporting vulnerable people in our community.
The talk explored what social justice really means β standing up for fairness, equity, and the dignity of every human being, especially those experiencing disadvantage. Students learned about homelessness, the challenges faced by families struggling to access safe housing, and the barriers confronting refugees and asylum seekers who arrive in Australia seeking safety and hope. ππ
Vinnies shared how their work goes beyond providing food, clothing, and emergency relief. They advocate for systemic change, support refugees and asylum seekers navigating difficult circumstances, and create opportunities for connection, belonging, and hope. This ensures that every person, no matter their situation, is treated with respect and care.
We are also thrilled to announce the launch of Mini Vinnies in Years 3 and 4! π Through this group, our younger students will have the chance to lead social justice initiatives, raise awareness, and put compassion into action β living out Catholic Social Teaching by defending human dignity, helping those in need, and promoting fairness in our community.
A huge thank you to Vinnies for inspiring us to reflect on our role in creating a more just and caring world, and for showing that every act of kindness makes a real difference. π
