What does a School Sleepout involve?

A School Sleepout is an overnight fundraising and engagement event hosted by the school to learn about homelessness and poverty and to support Vinnies Victoria. Most importantly, hosting a School Sleepout allows you to: 

• Help your school community to better understand homelessness, poverty and the challenges faced by some of the most vulnerable in our community. 

• Enable your school community to make a tangible impact on locals in need by raising funds for Vinnies Victoria.

• Promote values of compassion, empathy and leadership within the school community.

Who is a School Sleepout for? 

School Sleepouts are targeted towards secondary school-aged students or senior primary students. It is at the school’s discretion which year levels they include in the Sleepout. It is important to review the Victorian Department of Education’s Staffing and Supervision policy to ensure that you are providing adequate supervision for the event including Working with Children Check (WWCC) Requirements.
