THANK YOU- VINNIES CHRISTMAS APPEAL

We wish to thank our incredible St John's Community for supporting our Vinnies Christmas Appeal. With thanks to the generousity of students, staff and families we have filled 50 baskets to be donated to Vinnies to distribute to families in need in the local Shoalhaven and Ulladulla areas.

Thank you to Ison's Nowra for their donation of the baskets and to our wonderful Year 11 students for the incredible job they did in sorting and wrapping the gifts and produce. Your support will brighten Christmas for fifty families in our local community.
