Wear it Yellow Day

As part of our National Reconciliation Week this year, on Friday 2nd June we are encouraging all students and teachers to take part in a yellow-themed casual dress day to raise funds for a First Nations organisation, Children’s Ground.  

Please wear yellow and bring a gold coin donation on Friday.

 The National Reconciliation Week theme for 2023 is ‘Be a voice for generations.’ This theme encourages all Australians to be a voice for reconciliation in tangible ways in our everyday lives – where we live, work and play. That is why our school has chosen to participate in Children’s Ground’s ‘Wear It Yellow’ day. As part of ‘Wear It Yellow Day’, students will engage with National Reconciliation Week learning materials and have vibrant discussions about First Nations culture and history.  This also ties in with our inquiry topic this term. We remind students and teachers who take part to bring a gold coin donation.  Families can also make a further donation to Children’s Ground via this link https://wearityellow.org.au/macedon-primary-school. You can search for our school to add to our contribution. We have set a fundraising target of $1000.
