INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY – THIS WEDNESDAY

This Wednesday 3rd December, Wayi School will be recognising the International Day of People with Disability.

All staff and students are encouraged to show their support by wearing something purple on the day. This may include a purple top, socks, accessories or any other purple item they feel comfortable in. As always, students are required to remain SunSmart with appropriate hats for outside play and enclosed shoes.

We are also inviting students to bring a gold coin donation, which will go towards enhancing resources for our Library Resource Centre.

We look forward to seeing our school community come together in recognition of this day.

* Please note, the wearing of purple is optional. Families are welcome to provide alternate clothing for their child if needed throughout the day*
