Wear It Purple Day (Friday, August 29th)

Carlton North Primary School is committed to being safe, inclusive and welcoming for all people in our wonderful community. It's important to work with students to acknowledge, explore and celebrate diverse identities. We aim to foster a safe, respectful and inclusive community by acknowledging and/or celebrating a variety of cultural events that happen throughout the year, as well as by teaching the mandated Respectful Relationships (RR) curriculum.

Wear It Purple Day is happening on Friday, August 29th 2025. Wear It Purple Day is a celebration of diversity and inclusion for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer or Questioning, Asexual (LGBTQIA+) young people. 

What started as a small movement has grown. However, the message remains the same: Everybody has the right to be proud of who they are. This year’s theme is ‘Bold Voices, Bright Futures’. You can find more information and resources here.

Some themed baked goods (including gluten-free) and Minus18 wristbands will be available to buy for a gold coin donation at lunchand after school (if not already sold out) to raise money for Minus18, champions for LGBTQIA+ youth. We are also inviting anyone who would like to support the initiative to wear something purple on the day!

Calling all bakers for “Wear It Purple Day”!

Baked goods will be sold at lunchtime (and at assembly if there are left overs) with proceeds going to a charity, Minus18. Please mark all baked goods with ingredients. If you are planning to donate baked goods (or even honey joys in a purple wrapper), please let us know as soon as possible or put your name down in our bakers’ volunteer sheet, here. Please bring all baked goods to the office at drop-off (or before lunch) on Friday, August, 29th.
