Pizza with a Purpose – Year 10 and Year 11

A Year 11 initiative to help local women recovering from domestic violence

On Thursday Week 7 (28 November) a group of Year 11s will be hosting a pizza lunch as a celebratory end to the year for Year 10 and Year 11. As we head into our final year(s) at the school this will be both a celebration and a send-off time to have some fun with friends as we head into the holidays.

With this event, we want to raise awareness and funds for an important cause in our community –– violence against women. The money from this event will go towards helping women at a shelter here in Burwood rebuild their lives as they recover from their hardship and trauma.

All students involved have either already received order forms with envelopes or will be on Monday Week 6, (with extras available at the studies office) to fill in and add $15 for their pizza-drink combo (dietary options covered). Students are also welcome to order a second pizza for a younger sibling or to take home: the more we sell the higher our donation to the shelter!

We would like to encourage all students to submit an order, both as part of their cohort in the event and to show solidarity and support to the women in our community. These people so near to us make up part of Australia’s mounting statistics that show 1 in 5 women have experienced abuse or violence from a partner. The humbling facts of this reality have motivated us to make a difference for the lives of these women, and we hope you will join us in making this positive change for those around us.

Orders will be taken no later than Friday 22 November 2024, so make sure to bring yours in on time. 
We can’t wait to have everyone there!
