Purple day celebrated with pride

WEDDERBURN College students and staff  celebrated Wear It Purple Day week to support LGBTQIA+ young people.
The day aimed to  promote a world where “every young person feels safe, respected, and proud of who they are”. 
During lunchtime, students were at the purple photo booth, dressing up in a myriad of purple props and taking part in the Polaroid Wall activity. 
“It was wonderful to see students and staff of all ages getting involved,” said Molly Meadows of North Central LLEN. 
“The activity brought so much positive energy, and it was a joy to see everyone having fun while celebrating what makes each of us proud. 
The creativity, laughter, and pride on display really captured the spirit of Wear It Purple Day.” 
The activity was facilitated by North Central LLEN through its Engage Program. 
Molly said the day provided students with a chance to reflect on the importance of acceptance, kindness, and community while creating lasting memories.
Students signed their Polaroids before adding them to the Purple Pride Wall that became a visual celebration of diversity, inclusion, and school spirit.
