Last Friday, our College community celebrated Wear It Purple Day, a national movement supporting safe and inclusive environments where young people feel seen, valued and respected.
At lunchtime, students added their handprints to our Purple Door. Together, the handprints became a visual representation of the individuality within our community and the importance of ensuring every person feels respected, valued and welcome.
This connects closely with our College values of Respect and Dignity – respecting everyone in our community and recognising the value each individual brings.
We also welcomed representatives from Darling Downs Health, headspace Toowoomba and Youth Connect, who connected with students and shared information about the support services available to young people.
Founded in 2010 in response to the bullying, discrimination and exclusion experienced by LGBTQIA+SB young people, Wear It Purple has grown into a national movement that promotes visibility, support and inclusion.
