On Friday the 28th of August Colo High School participated in "Wear It Purple Day". This day is about creating a safe place for all of our students no matter what their sex, sexuality or gender identity is. This year’s theme was "Colour you Perception" which challenges young people to think about the assumptions they might make about others, and try to recolour the way they perceive the world and those around them. At the end of the day, everyone is unique and has the right to be proud of who they are.
