Casual Dress Day

On Friday 8 September, the Term 3 Casual Dress Day was held to support The Thin Green Line Foundation (TTGLF).

Every day, Park Rangers risk their lives to protect wildlife and wild places from poaching and other threats. Sadly, it’s estimated that over 1,000 park rangers have been killed in the line of duty over the past 10 years – a large percentage of these are due to commercial poachers and armed militia groups. Park Rangers are generally under-equipped, underpaid, and often under-appreciated. The Thin Green Line Foundation works tirelessly to provide them with the support they need to continue to protect threatened species around the world.

The Thin Green Line Foundation protects Nature’s Protectors by providing vital support to Park Rangers and their communities who are at the front-line of conservation. They work predominantly in developing nations and conflict zones, and with Indigenous Park Rangers within Australia and abroad.

They are the only organisation solely dedicated to providing Rangers worldwide with the assistance they deserve and need. As the official charity arm of the International Ranger Federation, TTGLF has unparalleled access to Rangers worldwide.

The Thin Green Line Foundation is highly successful at delivering much needed support to Rangers, with a wide range of effective programs worldwide – from Kenya to Tanzania, Costa Rica to Guatemala, Thailand to Indonesia, and in many, many more places around the globe.

In the sad circumstance of a Ranger losing his or her life in the line of duty, TTGLF helps to ensure the widows and families are looked after into the future.

We are proud to announce that we raised $2,063.80 for this great cause. The Eco Team have also kindly donated $1,000 totalling $3,063.80.

On the day, many fun activities were held around the school, including a frog in a pond stall, a drama workshop, table tennis and four square competitions, a hockey match and a rocket league tournament.

Many thanks to all the teachers who helped out and made the day such a success.
