Vinnies Return & Earn
In 2019, through the Return and Earn partnership with Vinnies our schools in the Wollongong Dioceses have recycled 75 317 containers raising a total of $28,751.35 for Vinnies social works.
This means that we have reduced the amount of rubbish going to landfill and we have also raised money for the St Vincent de Paul Society who assist those people in our community who need a helping hand.
Our schools are doing their bit to respond to "the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor" that Pope Francis calls us to in Laudato Si'.
Our school has been awarded 11th place this year for Vinnies return and earn collections.
We raised just under $800 from collecting containers. What an amazing effort.
I know we will keep up the good work in the new year.
If parents are able to bring bottles/cans from home, bins will be located at front of office and in playground.
