PURPLE FRIDAYS DURING LENT
Beginning the Friday after Ash Wednesday (7th March) our annual Purple Fridays for Project Compassion returns.
For a GOLD COIN DONATION, students can wear an item of purple as part of their school uniform every Friday during LENT. Only one item of school uniform can be replaced during this time and not the whole uniform. An item of clothing can include:
- Purple t-shirt
- Purple headband or hair tie
- Purple socks
- Purple hat
This special attire is to raise money for Project Compassion and their work around the world in supplying clean water, fresh food or homes for the poorest of people in need around the world.
Our School Social Justice Leaders were out and about wearing some purple items this week. Let's come together to raise money on Purple Fridays.
You can wear a Purple Top
