'Wear It Pink' Day for Breast Cancer Awareness - Friday, 10 November
‘Wear It Pink’ day will be held on Friday, 10 November 2017 to raise awareness of the need for Cancer research and in support of the Breast Cancer Foundation, Singapore, http://www.bcf.org.sg. All Secondary and Primary learners are welcome to come to school wearing pink clothing for a suggested donation of $2. There will be a range of events on the day and during the week, secondary learners will learn about cancer research and how the Breast Cancer Foundation, supports people and families affected by breast cancer. Primary learners will learn about how we support events to help people with illnesses, such as the Run For Hope and ‘Wear It Pink’ Day.
There will be activities held at break and lunch including a pink bake sale, face painting and temporary tattoos and more. We would like to encourage learners to bring in some extra money to take part in the fun!
We are asking learners, parents and staff for help to bake pink themed cakes/biscuits (a reminder that no nuts should be included, due to food allergies) for the bake sale. Please can any bake sale items be brought to the staff room from 8am to 8.20am on Friday, 2 November. Secondary learners and Primary learners will have the opportunity to offer their time and help for this event.
