Bandanna Day 

We are excited to let you know that we are taking part in National Bandanna Day this year. Held on the last Friday in October, Bandanna Day is the flagship fundraising and awareness campaign for Canteen.  

Canteen provides free and tailored support to young people aged 12-25 who are impacted by cancer. Whether they are dealing with their own diagnosis, a close family member’s cancer or the death of a loved one, Canteen provides support such as counselling, peer support events and youth friendly resources.

Young people impacted by cancer are up to six times more likely to face mental health issues like anxiety or depression than their peers. After just six months of support from Canteen, almost two-thirds of young people report improvements in their mental health and overall wellbeing. Canteen also provides services for parents dealing with cancer in their family, because research shows that when parents are supported through cancer and communicate openly, their children are likely to experience less distress and anxiety.

The Junior school council will be selling bandannas before and after school on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. $5 each, cash only
