Pink Shirt Day

Last Friday our school celebrated Pink Shirt Day. Most students came to school wearing a pink t-shirt or pink accessories. 

A group of us made pink iced gingerbread biscuits during the week to sell on the Friday for 50c or $1. The money was then donated to the Pink Shirt Day organisation (Mental Health). 

Pink Shirt Day started because in a school overseas one boy was bullied for wearing a pink shirt on his first day of high school. Two of his classmates then went to the cheap shop to buy 50 pink shirts to hand out to other pupils to support this boy! 

Did you school/workplace support this amazing cause?

    Kia Ora Mia, Reagan here!
    I really like how you have explained the story behind Pink Shirt Day. I found this day very fun and those biscuits tasted sooooooo good! I think it was great how we raised over $350 for this great cause! Did you enjoy this day/celebration?

    Noho ora mai,
