💜 Wear It Purple Day 2026 – Colours of Courage 💜
Erindale College proudly celebrated Wear It Purple Day on Friday 28 August, joining communities across Australia in showing support for inclusion, acceptance, diversity and belonging.
This year’s theme, “Colours of Courage,” encouraged our students to have the courage to be themselves and to celebrate the many different identities, backgrounds and experiences that make our school community stronger.
During the lunchtime celebration, students and staff gathered in the E-Knex Courtyard to enjoy a range of activities, including Arts & Crafts, a Wear It Purple Photo Booth, a Wall of Words, purple-themed treats and cake pops, and purple pikelets. Students also had the opportunity to participate in a fun Q&A session, share messages of positivity and connection, and show their support by wearing purple.
A huge thank you to our Youth Workers, BSO, Wellbeing Team, students, staff and volunteers, as well as YWCA Canberra Youth Worker Ell Harrison, for helping make the day such a success.
Most importantly, Wear It Purple Day provided an opportunity for our school community to come together and reinforce an important message: everyone deserves to feel seen, valued, respected and included. 💜
