❄️ EMMAUS TAKES ON THE VINNIES WINTER SLEEPOUT 🙌 Recently, we held our Vinnies NSW Winter Appeal where a number of students and staff slept at school in support of tackling homelessness. During the evening, students participated in activities that were aimed at portraying the reality of homelessness and the impact this can have on an individual’s education, work, clothing and access to food. 📚🍝 A special thanks to Eleanor, the President of the St Clair branch of the St Vincent de Paul Society who visited Emmaus to speak with students and Jennie from Coles in Stanhope Gardens who helped us by supplying the boxes that were used to build shelters. 🥰 We are very proud of our students and staff who braved the night to raise awareness for homelessness and the devastating impact it has on our wider community. 👏 #VinniesNSW #VinniesWinterSleepout

Sydney Zoo zookeepers were impressed with our students’ creative and thoughtful enrichment designs, adding some of our students’ ideas to the zoo’s enrichment rotation - how exciting. 🤩 What a memorable experience for our students who witnessed biology come to life at Sydney Zoo! 😄 #Year11Biology #SydneyZoo
