CANTEEN'S NATIONAL BANDANNA DAY
Last week, Young Vinnies members sold $260 worth of bandannas at recess to raise funds for the valuable work done by Canteen. Students and staff proudly wore their bandannas around the College last Friday for National Bandanna Day. Canteen is an organisation that helps young people cope with cancer in their family.
"Through Canteen, young people learn to explore and deal with their feelings about cancer, connect with other young people in the same boat and, if they’ve been diagnosed themselves, also provide specialist, youth-specific treatment teams.
By feeling understood and supported, young people develop resilience and can rebuild the foundations that crumbled beneath them when cancer turned their life upside down. That’s how Canteen is the difference.
Canteen works by having young people at the centre of everything they do. Combined with its leading edge research into the emotional and social impacts of cancer, it ensures that it truly understands how cancer is different in a young person’s world."
Even some of our community's dogs got into the spirit!
