Year 12 Work Studies started their 3 x 1 hour voluntary sessions at the local St.Vincent De Paul store yesterday Tuesday 27th October. While in the store we learnt about the services provided to the local community learning very quickly that it is not just a store for clothes, toys and books.

The local community and surrounding districts are lucky to have the provision of so many services, allowing those in need to have more comfortable living, and also provide the opportunity to volunteer for those who are wanting to give back to their community.

While attending the store the students helped out with behind the scenes chores in order to help catch up on regular daily tasks within the organisation. The students washed down toys, checked to see that batteries were working, removed damaged items, labelled books with price tags and ironed clothes ready to be placed on the shelves. We would like to thank Ms Bronwen Grovenor and look forward to our next visit in two weeks.
