Share the Dignity School Fundraiser

Senior School student, Amelia Cooper (Year 11), and the Stewardship Committee will be holding a fundraiser on Friday 9 May, where students can dress in pink (with a gold coin donation), as well as buy from a pink-themed bake sale.

Students wanting to contribute to the bake sale can sign up through a link on Seqta Notices.

During the month of May there will also be a collection box at the Senior School Office where students and parents can donate period/feminine hygiene products.

All donations will directly support women fleeing domestic violence, in homelessness, or in extreme poverty through Share the Dignity.
