Light it red 2020
We are so pleased to be supporting Light it Red for Dyslexia Awareness, a volunteer initiative by Code REaD Dyslexia Network, a national registered charity, to light significant monuments, buildings and landmarks across Australia in Red for dyslexia awareness.
We will be lighting the St Mary's College convent building red during October! Watch out for the light display of an evening, which will start soon.
Students will also support the month of red for dyslexia with awareness activities at school - keep an eye out for upcoming announcements.
