Wear it Purple Day

This is a national event that celebrates and supports young people in the LGBTQIA+ community. It began in 2010 as a way to raise awareness about the impact of bullying and to promote safe, inclusive, and respectful environments for everyone. SRC have discussed this as a group and have advertised and invited students and staff to wear a splash of purple to school as a visible sign of support. Purple was chosen because it represents “spirit” on the rainbow Pride flag, symbolising the importance of being proud of who you are. By taking part, our school community is sending a clear message: we value diversity, we welcome everyone, and we believe all young people should feel safe, supported, and respected. Thank you for helping us make this day meaningful for our students.
