The first Vinnies Van shift for Year 12, 2020 was on Tuesday, 24 September. Students Aaliyah, Brianna, Dania, and Ellah were joined by Mrs Findlay, Miss Ortiz and Miss Katrib to service the van at Mt Druitt and Parramatta.
The night was eventful, to say the least, and the girls finished the shift feeling a heightened sense of empathy and desire to help those in the wider community.
This was a great opportunity for all staff and students participating to discover the way of Saint Vincent and to allow themselves to give back to the community and realize the blessings they have in their life.

Our Stage 6 Music students had the wonderful opportunity to experience Disney’s The Lion King live at the Capitol Theatre. 🦁🎭🎶 It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to see professional musicians and performers at work and to experience first hand how music, movement, staging and storytelling come together in a world class theatrical production. Experiences like this bring classroom learning to life and give our young musicians a chance to see where their own creativity, musicianship and performance skills can take them. A brilliant day of music, theatre and inspiration for our Stage 6 musicians! And, of course, there’s only one way to finish… Hakuna Matata! 🦁🌅
