Casual Dress Day

Friday 1 June

This terms charity for our Casual Dress Day on Friday 1 June is JDRF - Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Now, some of you may be thinking what is diabetes?

Type 1 diabetes is a life-long autoimmune disease that usually occurs in childhood but can be diagnosed at any age. Type 1 diabetes alone, affects over 120,000 people in just Australia, and including the two other types of diabetes Type 2 and Gestational diabetes, it affects 1.7 million people in Australia, nearly 1 in 10 adults.

Type 1 diabetes is caused by the immune system mistakenly turning on itself, destroying the cells it needs inside the pancreas and therefore removing the body's ability to produce insulin. And to those who don’t know what insulin is, it's very important. Insulin is what allows the body to process sugar to create energy, so without insulin the body would starve itself as it cannot process food.

So, to make sure they can process food, diabetics have to supply themselves with insulin by either injection (usually 2 times a day, but can be 3) or by using a insulin pump, which pumps insulin in when needed. Diabetics also have to pick their fingers on a regular basis each day, to make sure there blood glucose levels are between 4 and 8. If they are too high, a diabetic may need some insulin and if they are too low, they make need to have some sugar to make sure they go back to the normal levels.

Now, although there is no cure for Type 1 diabetes at the moment, by donating your $2 coin on Casual Dress Day, the money will go into the research to try and discover a cure and help millions of people, not only in Australia, but all around the world.

The activities we will be running are:

- A “guess how many lollies in the jar”, as a theme for diabetes.

- A bake sale

- Drama activites

- And sport events

More information to come.

Also a reminder that it is not compulsory to wear casual dress on this day. You are welcome to wear your school uniform, but any donation to this important cause is greatly appreciated.
