Fort Street celebrated a vibrant Wear-It-Purple Day on Friday 28th of August! \ud83d\udc9c\ud83d\udc9c\ud83d\udc9c<\/p>\n

The day started with the Honourable Justice Michael Kirby making a celebrity appearance at assembly. His inspirational speech detailed Fort Street\u2019s development into a more accepting community and emphasised this day\u2019s significance for promoting safety, pride, and inclusion of LGBTQIA+ people. He was kind enough to take photos with us and signed a Twinkie\u2019s laptop!<\/p>\n

Following this, the lunch celebrations began with a bake stall supplied by some expert baking. The elegant spread featured themed treats including Mr DeJong\u2019s famous ube cookies, purple cupcakes and rainbow sprinkle chocolate slices!<\/p>\n

In total we raised $897.95! These donations all go towards the WIPD Charity so thank you for everyone\u2019s support.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s theme \u201cColours of Courage\u201d could be seen emblazoned on wrist bands offered at lunchtime, alongside pride flag quizzes and face glitter. The chalk wall made a reappearance, displaying colorful messages of support and creative drawings which can still be seen in upper Kilgour.<\/p>\n

The Diversity Committee is looking forward to an even bigger, brighter, bolder Wear-It-Purple Day next year! Can\u2019t wait to get planning!<\/p>\n
