Year 11 Roughtober Sleepout

On Friday 21 October, a group of Year 11 students will be participating in this year’s Roughtober Sleepout. This is an awareness and fundraising event for Rough Edges, the drop-in café for people who are living in vulnerable and at-risk situations to have a place where they can belong, get food, and develop a sense of community with other people each night. Rough Edges relies very much on the fundraising efforts to sustain its vital services in our neighbourhood of Darlinghurst. You can read about the ways in which this service helps people rebuild their lives and treat patrons who visit with dignity through the love and care shown by those serving and volunteering at the café here.

We hope that you will help support our Year 11s who are sleeping out at St John’s in Darlinghurst and would like to raise $5000 this year through a donation to our SCEGGS Darlinghurst Roughtober fundraiser page.

We thank you for your generosity and support of this important and life changing service.
