Wear it Purple Day

The Department of Education has a strong commitment to ensuring all Victorian government schools are respectful, safe and inclusive places of learning and work for all students, staff and members of our school communities.

As part of this commitment, the department is supporting all schools to join many other schools and workplaces across the country to recognise and celebrate Wear it Purple Day on Friday 29 August 2025.

We support all young people in our schools and the community, in accordance with obligations in the Child Safe Standards to uphold diversity and equity for everyone regardless of their background, characteristics or beliefs.

At our school, we welcome anyone who wants to wear some purple on the day to do so, to show their support.

If you have any queries, you can contact the department by email: enquiries@education.vic.gov.au 

Thanks for your continued support.
