Pink Shirt Day Fundraising Success!

As one of the main School Council fundraisers of the year, it was exciting to see the success of this year's Pink Shirt Day at Tahuna.

Huge numbers of Tahuna students embraced the spirit of the recent Pink Shirt Day, from wearing a simple pink hair ribbon right through to some spectacular outfits.

Against a backdrop of Pink Shirt Day's important message about being upstanders against bullying, it was really pleasing to be able to raise around $800 for the work of the Mental Health Foundation.

In addition to the koha which students brought to school, we really appreciated the support of our Pink Shirt Day cupcake sale - a huge thanks to Mrs. Scott and her team of House Leaders for all their work on this.

We distributed Pink Shirt Day resources throughout the school - the tear-off compliment slips were very popular and it was great to see that, having recieved a compliment slip, many students then passed them on to others!

Mr. Clarke also took the opportunity at assembly to reinforce the key messages behind Pink Shirt Day.

The photo above shows our top eight from the day - it was very hard picking just eight winners! This group all won a goodie bag for their efforts - an official Cotton-On Pink Shirt Day tote bag filled with goodies.

Thanks to all students and whanau for their support of this fundraiser. It was a fun day for all involved and we were pleased to be able to do our bit for an important cause.
