Fantastic Mini Vinnies

24 Sep 2019

St Anthony's Girraween

St Anthony's Girraween

Some of our fantastic students volunteer themselves to the amazing called Mini Vinnies.

As part of the Mini Vinnies, they have been working on a project called the group Buddy Bench. The Buddy Bench is where people can sit together and have a conversation.

This meaning behind the Buddy Bench is that a conversation can change anything. This was inspired by staff and students being more aware of a person well being and how positive and negative things can impact that individual.

Our school's Biddy bench has now been completed and is a good reminder of how we can spread the awareness of all forms of wellbeing as well as how the beauty of friendship can help a lot more than we think.

โœจ Today we did something truly special. โœจ As a school community, we came together to celebrate peace and light, inspired by Jesusโ€™ example and the symbol of light that shines across many faiths. We also took time to acknowledge and honour our Hindu friends, who celebrate light during this time of year. Together, we lit a Catholic candle and a Hindu Diya, symbols of unity and hope, reminding us that we are stronger as one โ€” united in peace. ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธโœจ Our celebration continued with a pilgrimage of peace and hope, where each step reflected our shared commitment to kindness and understanding. We finished beneath a symbolic archway, marking a promise to ourselves and to others: to be peacemakers in our world. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’› To mark this commitment, we also planted a Tree of Peace as a living symbol of hope, harmony, and unity for generations to come. #PeaceAndLight #UnityInDiversity #WeAreOne #FaithInAction
