Observing ALL BLACK DAY March 22, 2011
On February 22, 2011 Christchurch was devastated by an earthquake. Lives were lost and others irrevocably changed. The city centre sustained massive damage and the landscape will never be the same.
Many in Australian schools have strong ties to New Zealand, and particularly, Christchurch.
Therefore, to help them cope and contribute we have launched
ALL BLACK DAY
On March 22, 2011. on the one-month anniversary of this event
we are asking the staff and students of Australian schools to wear all black
and to contribute a gold coin for the privilege.
All money raised is to be donated to the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal
