Pink shirt day 2023

By Lisa Dixon | Posted: Tuesday May 2, 2023

On Pink Shirt Day, Friday 19th May 2023, Aotearoa will be transformed into a sea of māwhero/pink as we stand together to spread aroha, celebrate diversity and end bullying! We would like students and staff to support this important message by wearing pink on this day!

Students will be able to wear something pink or go full on pink on this day. They may also choose to wear something pink with their uniform. For those not dressing in pink to support this cause, they are to wear their correct school uniform on this day. 

There will be photos taken and spot prizes. At our Year  Group Assemblies and during class we will be looking at friendships and focusing on being an UPSTANDER not a BYSTANDER when they see or hear something they know is not right. 

We are looking forward to seeing a SEA of PINK next Friday as we support and get behind this important key message to speak up, stand up and do the right thing. This fits perfectly into our school Balmac Way programme and our school values of respect and kindness.
