Coming up in Week 4 is Pink Shirt Day 💓

Every year we celebrate Pink Shirt Day with activities focused on kindness & anti-bullying. Students are also encouraged to wear pink to school.

Pink Shirt Day began in Canada in 2007 when two students, David Shepherd and Travis Price, took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new Year 10 student was harassed and threatened for wearing pink. David and Travis bought dozens of pink shirts and distributed them to their classmates to wear the next day. The word got out online and hundreds of students showed up in pink, some from head-to-toe, to stand together against bullying!

The grassroots movement captured hearts across the world and the campaign went global! It has been celebrated here in Aotearoa since 2009 and gets bigger and better every year.
