The Mini Vinnies are the youngest members of the St Vincent de Paul Society (SVP), an international Christian voluntary organisation dedicated to tackling poverty in all its forms by providing practical assistance to people in need.

At St Hedda’s our whole school work as a team of Mini Vinnies under the guidance of our Mini Vinnie Pupil Leaders.

Children renew their promises during a ‘Commissioning Ceremony’ and have made promises to:

Care for, respect and love myself; 

Strengthen my friendship with Jesus by talking to Him each day and talking to others about Him; 

Care for others in my school and community by being a friend to those who are alone, in need or in trouble; 

Make my family happy by my help, respect and showing kindness and consideration; 

Care for and enjoying God’s world; 

Treat others the way I would like them to treat me.
