St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal Term 2 Initiative
As followers of Christ, we are challenged to make a preferential option for the poor as it is important to create conditions for marginalised voices to be heard, to defend the defenceless, and to assess lifestyles, policies and social institutions in terms of their impact on the poor. The St Vincent de Paul Society is committed to actively and passionately speaking out against the causes of poverty and inequality on behalf of the people we serve. Please watch the video attached on the excellent work St Vincent de Paul does in the community.
In term two each House is asked to donate items to the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal.
- Items that the students from Ingham, Chisholm, Davis and Deane could bring in include: Beanies, Scarves, Socks, Gloves or Blankets and Jumpers.
- Senior students are to donate hygiene items for the Social Justice Committee to organise hygiene packs.
Students are to place their items for the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal in their learning circle baskets.
Thank you for supporting the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal.

The Corpus Christi High School community is celebrating our feast day on Thursday, June 12, 2025. The Feast of Corpus Christi Mass is an opportunity for our school to reflect on the importance of gathering as a Catholic community in the Eucharistic celebration. On Corpus Christi Day, we will be attending Mass as a whole school at All Saints Church in Shellharbour. There will be many social justice and team-building activities on this day.

Cost: Students are to bring money to purchase food only on the day
Ride Tickets: $30.00
