Pyjama Day – 11 September - Berry Street fundraiser

Our fundraiser for Term 3 is Pyjama Day on Wednesday 11th September and JSC is raising funds for Berry Street https://www.berrystreet.org.au/ 

 

Wear your pj's (normal school shoes, please) and bring your gold coin donation!

 

Berry Street has provided services to children, young people and families for over 140 years. Today they are one of Australia’s largest independent family service organisations.

Berry Street believes that children, young people and families should be safe, thriving, and hopeful.

 

They provide a diverse range of programs to around 35,000 people in Victoria each year.

Some of our key programs and services are:

  • family violence support services
  • education services, including the Berry Street Education Model and Berry Street School
  • trauma services, including our Victoria-wide therapeutic service, Take Two
  • out-of-home care
  • parenting and family services.

Berry Street has a strong focus on reorientating the child and family system, family violence services and education system towards early intervention and prevention. We want to make sure that children and families receive the support they need before issues spiral out of control, and so they can stay safely together.
