What a great turnout we had for Book Week this week from families and friends on Tuesday at Terang. The students looked fantastic in their dress ups as did the staff. Tash did a fantastic job at organising all the activities and the parade for the day.  Check out our photos on facebook!

We continue to focus on students being in full school uniform that is clean and in good condition, please support your students to wear their uniform proudly to school. I am getting quite a collection of hoodies, beanies and caps in my office that the students can collect at the end of the week.

We have lots of exciting events coming up to look forward to, with the concert this term and the Presentation Ball in term 4. The students are practicing hard and looking forward to being concert stars.

Have a great weekend.

Thank you,
Kylie Carter
Principal.

On Tuesday 20^th August we all gathered at our Terang campus to celebrate our love of books and reading. Students enjoyed dressing up, parading in the gym and taking part in art activities after reading shortlisted books. What a great day! Reading is Magic!

Our Parents Association will be running some activities across our school to celebrate Fathers Day and Special Persons Day on Friday 30th August.

WEAR IT PURPLE DAY 30^TH August 2024

Why we Wear It Purple!

Wear It Purple strives to foster supportive, safe, empowering and inclusive environments for rainbow young people.

Our Story

Wear it Purple was founded in 2010 in response to global stories of real teenagers, real heartache and their very real responses. In 2010, several rainbow young people took their own lives following bullying and harassment resulting from the lack of acceptance of their sexuality or gender identity.

One member of this group was 18 year old Tyler Clementi who took his own life after being publicly ‘outed’ as gay by his roommate, prompting a frenzy as reports poured in of various young people sadly in the same situation.

As the world saw the faces of precious young lives lost, some young people found a new sense of conviction and purpose to ensure that young people everywhere would know that there were people who did support and love them. Wear it Purple was established to show young people across the globe that there was hope, that there were people who did support and accept them, and that they have the right to be proud of who they are.

Since 2010, when Wear it Purple was co-founded by Katherine Hudson and Scott Williams, Wear it Purple has developed into an international movement. New generations of rainbow young people continue to be dedicated to promoting the annual expression of support and acceptance to rainbow young people.

What started out small has now grown; however the message remains the same. Everybody has the right to be proud of who they are.

So join us this year, on August 30th to celebrate Wear it Purple Day. Be part of a movement that has the potential to save thousands of lives. Be part of this change.
