St Brigid’s School, Gisborne, celebrated Family Week in style. The school’s Mini Vinnies organised a week filled with fun events and fundraising initiatives.

During the week, students ran family activities at lunchtime, which included arts and crafts and games. They sold ‘almost hot, hot chocolates’, held a ‘choc and bake sale’ and were able to raise more than $600 for CatholicCare Victoria to assist refugees to rebuild their lives. On Friday 14 May, the school also received a visit from a CatholicCare representative who spoke about the importance of supporting this cause.

Family Week ran from Monday 10 to Saturday 15 May and this year’s theme was ‘Our Family, Our Story, Our Future’. This wonderful event celebrates the power of family relationships in all their diversities, and the importance they play in our lives and community.
