Important Information
Albany Big Sleep Out 2024
The Principal Challenge #3 is joining me and the Great Southern Grammar team of student leaders in participating in the Albany Big Sleep Out on Saturday 24 August 2024.
The Big Sleep Out is an annual fundraising initiative that encourages us to get out of our comfort zone for one night to raise funds for the less fortunate in our community who are homeless.
All funds raised goes directly to Albany's unique Housing Crisis Response Fund which has been established to assist those that are homeless, disadvantaged or in crisis.
The Principal Challenge #3 is to take up the opportunity to join us in the sleep out or donate money to the team in our pursuit of raising $7,500. Donations can made at: https://albanys-big-sleep-out-2024.raiselysite.com/greatsoutherngrammar
In support of this cause, our Year Eleven Certificate IV Business students have developed a project to involve our students and contribute to the fundraising effort.
They will be hosting a cake stall on 22 August 2024 and an activities program during lunch time for all students.
Secondary School students are encouraged to wear their dressing gowns to school and all students are encouraged to give a gold coin donation.
This day will also coincide with the 2024 Book Week Dress Up Day in the Primary and Secondary School.
