Youth Day

The St Albans community celebrated Youth Day during lunchtime on Friday 1 September and it was a fantastic event. Co-organised by the Student Representative Council, Year 12 VCAL and the School House Captains, students and staff were treated to a wide variety of activities. The students use this day to fundraise for a variety of charities and good causes such as Youth Homelessness, Leukaemia Research and local school programs. There were plenty of food options in sticky glass noodles, popcorn, homemade cupcakes, fairy floss, pizza, a BBQ and soft serve ice-creams.

Students were challenged to try a range of games and have a shot at dropping volunteer staff into the icy waters of the dunking machine.  Many of our staff bravely took the plunge, including Assistant Principal, Mr Craig Jennings. Students also enjoyed the excitement of the jumping castle and the Photo Booth.  In addition there was the option of having your hair braided and a chance to experience henna decoration.

Several staff and students raised vital funds for the Leukaemia Foundation by agreeing to have their heads shaved. As their hair came off we were all reminded of the saying “Hair today – Gone tomorrow!!!”

The talented student musicians from the VCE Music Performance Class provided a musical backdrop to the carnival like atmosphere. 

"Youth Day was such a great opportunity to have some fun and share great memories with people all over the school!!" exclaimed Laura Van Keulen of 11E. 

Our thanks to the organising students and staff for this wonderful celebration of all things youthful.
