Pink Shirt Day – “Let Kindness Grow"

On Wednesday, February 26, our school will be recognizing Pink Shirt Day, a day dedicated to promoting kindness, inclusion, and standing up against bullying. This annual event serves as a powerful reminder that small acts of kindness can make a big difference in creating a safe and supportive environment for everyone.

We encourage all students and staff to wear pink to show their commitment to fostering a culture of respect and acceptance. This years theme is "Let Kindness Grow". 

Let’s work together to make our school a place where everyone feels valued, included, and safe. Wear pink, take a stand, and spread kindness!
