Heartfelt appeal by students ignites overwhelming response
SCHOOL WRAP
A remarkable showcase of community spirit unfolded as students at St Augustine’s Primary School proudly wore their supporter gear during the State of Origin match recently.
Their mission? To collect donations of hoodies or blankets for the St Vincent De Paul Winter Appeal.
The school received an outpouring of compassion in the form of blankets, hoodies, and generous gold coin donations.
The contributions will be passed on to St Vinnies to provide assistance to the less fortunate in our local district.
