Mini Vinnies- Society of St Vincent de Paul
We are proud to have established a ‘Mini Vinnies’ group at St Anne's!
‘Mini Vinnies’ are children aged between 7 to 11 who, with the permission of their parents and the support of their Schools, are encouraged to embark on their first steps as possible ‘Vincentians for life’.
Those wishing to become a Mini Vinnie are invited to apply in school and state how they would carry out good deeds in the community.
Mini Vinnies is about doing good works in the community. The Vinnies model of ‘See, Think, Do’ is a great way to get young people thinking and talking about their spirituality; by connecting their beliefs and values with service activities and issues in their community, they can help to make their faith real, meaningful and relevant.
‘Our Mini Vinnies’ group will meet once a month afterschool and are always busy planning on how they can reach out to the people in need in our community!
Welcome to our new Mini Vinnies Conference Members!
Congratulations to our newly elected President is Aria, Vice President is Deon, Secretary is Maddie, Treasurer is Gauravi and the Communications Officer is Roli ! We are thrilled to have such dedicated individuals stepping into these important roles. Their commitment to our school community and passion for making a positive impact will undoubtedly lead us toward new and exciting initiatives.
Mrs Banks, a member from the St. Vincent de Paul Society (SVP) recently presented badges to them, recognising their roles and responsibilities within our community, along with the One World Council.
They shared a Mini Vinnies assembly that engaged our pupils and highlighted important themes, and they also helped with refreshments after Mass, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for our families and school community.
We look forward to seeing their leadership in action and the valuable contributions they will make to enhance the experiences of our pupils and families.
