Stephen Street Campus
Strive to be Kind Day
Next Thursday, Stephen Street Campus will be partaking in a new way to not only raise awareness about domestic violence but to take part in an activity.
We will be holding our own Strive to be Kind Day, on Thursday the 21st of March, we ask that you wear a piece of denim and hang one of the coloured sunflowers in the yellow heart on the wall opposite the sports notice boards.
We are supporting the Allison Baden-Clay Foundation which was created in memory of a lady who was a victim of domestic violence in Brisbane. As a family, they have created a foundation to not only raise awareness, but they are building it to be able to take action to stop domestic violence. As a college, we will be doing our part next Thursday and we ask for everyone to do their part by wearing denim or partaking in the heart creation.
