Wear It Yellow Day
Wear It Yellow Day – Friday 5th June
As a part of National Reconciliation Week, on Friday 5th June, staff and students at FPS will be participating in 'Wear it Yellow Day' to raise funds for Children’s Ground. Each year we show up in our brightest yellow clothes and accessories as a community and fundraise for Children's Ground, a not-for-profit organisation that supports First Nations children and families to have a bright future.
National Reconciliation Week is held annually from 27 May to 3 June. It is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, and the truth about our First Nations history, cultures and achievements, and to explore the responsibilities of all Australians to reconcile with their First Nations past.
The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2026 is All In, a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day.
All In makes clear that reconciliation is not a spectator sport and that all of us must step away from the sidelines and take action to make change.
The theme also reminds us that reconciliation and advancing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights isn’t a passive activity, and it is not solely the responsibility of First Nations people, who have carried the weight of championing, explaining and acting for far too long.
Reconciliation will not happen by itself, and it will not happen without all of us.
Every dollar raised for Wear It Yellow Day supports First Nations children, families, and communities to lead their own future at Children’s Ground, ensuring access to education, health, and employment opportunities rooted in culture, language, and self-determination.
In the lead up to the day, the FPS community will be able to make a donation via this link to our fundraising site. Last year, we were in the top five fundraising schools with a total of $2,653 donated by our fantastic school community. We are hoping to match or even beat that this year!
