On the 19th of September staff and participated in helping the less fortunate by volunteering at night to Vinnies Van.
Students ventured out into the elements to provide hot coffee, chocolate, and soup along with sandwiches and great conversation to those less fortunate doing it tough. This is a great insensitive that allows students to be able to recognize how fortunate they are as well as allow students to give back to those in need.
The Vinnies Van provides friendship, compassion, and dignity to those experiencing homelessness and social isolation in the Mount Druitt and Parramatta areas. It also provides food and referral. It operates 364 days per year and provided 8,790 meals last year.
Thank you to all our staff students who participated in volunteering for this great cause.

*CONGRATULATIONS YEAR 12* Congratulations to our Class of 2022 on their HSC results. We especially applaud you on the last 3 years of schooling which have been quite challenging years with major floods, fires and COVID affecting our community. In 18 out of the 28 subjects we received band 5 and 6's, which is a wonderful achievement. Our top 2 ATAR's were Torrance McLean 98.1 and Broc Geronimi 93.25. Well done to all our students.
