“These include Benjamin Eyers, Year 6 student from St Joseph the Worker Catholic Primary School, who has been an active member of Mini Vinnies, volunteering his weekends to help the Night Patrol Van, and participating in the school’s Mini Vinnies Sleep Out.
“Our community has a proud tradition of community service – I congratulate and thank all the students for their efforts to uphold this tradition.”
