Last week, our school was filled with pride and inspiration as we held a special Badge Ceremony to officially welcome the new members of our Mini Vinnies team. It was a meaningful occasion where students pledged to live out their faith through action, compassion, and service to others.

The ceremony was facilitated by our School Chaplain, Cristina Ciencia-Jeroma, with the support of our Padua APRE Rose Fitzsimmons and grade 5 teacher, Ms. Blackburn.

During the ceremony, we also welcome our new Mini Vinnies President – Alex Ralph! With a heart for service and a strong sense of leadership, Alex is already inspiring others to step up, reach out, and bring positive change to our community. We look forward to the journey ahead under Alex’s guidance and the incredible projects that will unfold this year.  

To all our new Mini Vinnies members: wear your badges with pride, and let them be a daily reminder of your promise to live with kindness, humility, and courage. Together, we can be the light that brightens someone else’s day.

"Let us love, not with words or speech, but with actions and in truth." – 1 John 3:18
