National Pyjama Day 

Why did OPS choose The Pyjama Foundation?

Week 4 T2

Oatlands Primary School wanted to help The Pyjama Foundation because as a community, we value equal opportunities for all children. As we are a large school, we will be able to help The Pyjama Foundation very much through gold coin donations collected on National Pyjama Day.

How will The Pyjama Foundation use the money?

The Pyjama Foundation uses funds to support children in foster care. The money goes towards screening and training volunteers, called Pyjama Angels. Pyjama Angels visit foster children for 1 hour every week to play fun, educational games. Having a Pyjama Angel gives the children a reliable role model to feel safe and have fun with.

The money also goes towards much needed educational resources for children in foster care.

How can we help The Pyjama Foundation?

Oatlands Primary School are getting involved in National Pyjama Day for 2023. This means, on Friday 21st of July, all students and staff are encouraged to wear their pyjamas to school and bring a gold coin donation.

Outside of school, adults may choose to look into becoming a Pyjama Angel.

The Oatlands community are also welcome to donate additional amounts to our fundraising page.

You are also welcome to purchase some merchandise from their website, or pick up some Pyjama Foundation pyjamas from Myer.
