WEAR PINK FOR HANNAH DAY

On May 8, the college was a sea of pink to honour Hannah Clarke and her children – Aaliyah, Laianah and Trey. A very big thank you to Sue and Lloyd Clarke and Cr Fiona Cunningham for joining us. We united to raise awareness of domestic and family violence, raised funds for the Small Steps 4 Hannah foundation and worked to educate and empower our Secondary students to be a part of the change that helps HALT the cycle of coercive control and domestic and family violence.

We were also privileged to have Dave Kramer, an ambassador for Small Steps 4 Hannah, deliver the HALT program to students and staff. This research-based initiative has been designed to support students in Years 7-12 build the knowledge and skills that are crucial for respectful relationships. It was an invaluable and engaging information session for us all.

Across the college students and staff dressed in pink and there were activities like face painting and hair colouring. Together, we raised awareness, funds and hope – all in the memory of Hannah and her beautiful children.
