PJ Day 2023
On Friday, December the 1st staff and students will be taking part in Pyjama Day. Pyjama Day is all about wearing your favourite pair of PJs to raise money for State Schools Relief.
A gold coin donation will be required – so put on your favourite pair of PJs and help us raise much needed funds for children in need.
Wear your pjs to school and wear your normal school shoes. Please make sure your pjs and shoes (no opened toed or slip on slippers) are appropriate for school.
State Schools’ Relief
State Schools’ Relief is a not-for-profit organisation that improves the lives of tens of thousands of disadvantaged Victorian students, and their families, each year.
Our simple and practical service ensures that all students can attend school in warmth and comfort with a greater sense of belonging and improved self-esteem, which in turn enhances their educational engagement.
Issues such as poverty, neglect, family illness, abuse and homelessness continue to affect many Victorian families. We work side by side with all Victorian primary, secondary, specialist and language schools to ensure that any students facing hardship have the necessary items they require for school.
