On the 22 February, Year Six students and Mrs. Sally Croker went to Trinity Catholic College for a Social Justice Day and learnt about St Vincent De Paul and what Vinnies can do to help people.

St Peter and Paul, St Bede’s and Mt Carmel went as well. To start off the day we went to Mass and we talked about St Paul. I learnt a lot. We joined Year Seven for Mass and there was millions of them. I enjoyed the Mass.

We got split up with the other primary school kids and went to three workshops.

Workshop One was all about where our clothes come from and what the poorer countries have to do to make our clothes. The most common area was Asia.

Workshop Two was based on the Good Samaritan and what Vinnies do for people in our community who are having serious problems paying bills or feeding their families. The Vinnies people give vouchers to the homeless and sick like food vouchers, places to stay, clothes and heaps more.

Workshop Three was about what problems some people have and how they can’t start a career because they don’t have good enough healthy information to start with. It was all about how unfair some people’s life situation can be and how we can help.

We met up with all the primary kids from schools around us and we all discussed the ways we could help people in need.

I had an amazing time and would love to go back there.

We now have an Action Plan on how Year Six can begin their Mini Vinnie activities for 2019.

Year Six would like to thank Mrs. Cooper, Mrs. Selmes, Mrs. Croker and Mrs. Lowe for driving us into Goulburn. Especially Mrs. Lowe who had to go back to work and then come back again for us!
