Winter Warmers for the Community

Winter Warmers

On 18 July, Year 11 VCAL class had the pleasure of making food for the local parishioners of St Patrick's Catholic Church in Camperdown. This initiative was an extension of the Winter Warmers awareness campaign organised by the College at the end of Term 2.

The students planned to make and deliver healthy, delicious & satisfying two-course meals. The parishioners had the option of pumpkin or minestrone soup with a roll along with bread-and-butter pudding for dessert. The students organised an order form and cooked the meals, modifying the recipes to cater for individual needs.

Accompanied by staff member Rose Henry, the students delivered the meals and handwritten cards, thanking the parishioners for their support of the initiative. 

The students were greeted with smiles and lovely conversations. Many of the people who received the delivery live alone, and the 'winter warmers' were a real highlight of their day. The parishioners greatly enjoyed a chat with the younger generation and praised them for their efforts. The students were overwhelmed by how grateful the parishioners were for the meals. It was overall a rewarding experience for both our students and the community.
