Vinnies Winter Sleepout โ๏ธ Last week, our senior students and staff volunteers stepped out of their comfort zones to participate in the Vinnies Community Sleepout. By spending one night "sleeping rough", our students gained a deeper, firsthand understanding of the challenges faced by the homeless and disadvantaged in our wider community. The night provided a powerful opportunity for reflection, allowing our students and staff to focus on gratitude while building on their understanding around Formation for Mission and the Common Good. A massive thank you to our College community for your incredible generosity in donating to the Vinnies Winter Appeal, demonstrating our shared faith in action ๐ #VinniesWinterSleepout #SJPIICC #FormationForMission #WinterAppeal #FaithInAction
