St Joseph's Primary School in Trafalgar run a Mini Vinnies program to support social justice initiatives in the school.
The team comprises 20 students who volunteered to work as part of the group. They organise a number of fundraising activities to support different efforts.
Recently the Mini Vinnies team fundraised to support the local Trafalgar CFA team.
The local Trafalgar CFA members were incredibly grateful for the $200 donation and then visited the school to show their gratitude.
Students listened to volunteer Marcus Barker and Kate Watchow, as they explained the role of the CFA in the community and students even got to use the fire truck hose.
And, of course, what's a CFA fire truck visit without the sounding of the fire siren at the end? The students were appropriately startled and alarmed - and a little excited at the same time.
The visit was educational and served to publicly say thank you to the work of the Mini Vinnies team at the school.
