Vinnies Winter Appeal
Vinnies Winter Appeal
Mount St Benedict College is a school inspired and shaped by the Benedictine tradition, which calls us to promote the dignity of every person, serve others, and show care to those who are vulnerable and marginalised. As a community, we believe that every individual is deserving of dignity, respect, and compassion, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Therefore, this winter, we bring the Benedictine tradition to life by asking all students to contribute to the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal, by contributing one small item to help create toiletry or snack packs for those supported by the Vinnies Vans.
Each Homeroom is asked to fill just one green shopping bag with any of the items listed below.
Toiletry Pack Options
Travel-sized body wash, travel-sized shampoo, travel-sized conditioner, travel-sized toothpaste, soap, pads, toothbrush, dental floss, deodorant (unisex), exfoliating mitt.
Snack Pack Options
Packets of small chips, juice Poppers, muesli bars, tuna cans (small), Cup of Soup packs, Le Snack cheese dips, fruit cups.
Please reach out to the Mission Team if you have any questions.

Deputy Dean of Mission

Cold and Flu Season: Help Keep our Community Safe
Cold and Flu Season: Help Keep our Community Safe
Cold and flu season is upon us and cases are on the rise in our community.
If your child has an infectious condition, you should keep them home from school to stop it from spreading. If your child is unwell with symptoms including coughing, sneezing, blocked or runny nose they must stay home from school until they have been free of these symptoms for 24 hours.
For common viral illnesses (like the common cold, flu, or COVID-19), standard guidelines emphasise staying home while symptomatic and returning to normal activities only when fever-free for at least 24 hours (without fever-reducing medication) and symptoms are visibly improving.
If your child is sick and cannot attend school, please notify the school via Sentral in the Parental Portal.
Thank you for your support in keeping our community safe.
