It's almost winter and now is when those kids who are not fortunate enough to have a proper school uniform or shoes feel the cold the most.  We're asking all schools in Victoria to join in by holding an event to help us provide quality, warm clothing and footwear for children and young people experiencing extreme disadvantage.

We'd love it if your school could support us by holding an event during the week of 2-6 August to raise money for our cause.  Our target is for a $2 contribution from each child in a government school across Victoria.

There's plenty of fun activities you can do.  Some of those in those in the past have included:

• Wild and Woolly Warmers: rugging up in bright

  scarves, beanies, crazy colours and wigs
• Odd Socks Day: making an out of uniform statement that is easy and lots of fun
• Zany Hair Day: spray on hair colour, wigs and hair ties
• Choose your shoes: decorating an old pair of shoes or wearing non-school shoes for the day
• Bad Hat Day: wear the worst hat you can find
• Crazy Catwalk:   have a lunchtime event where several students from each class walk the crazy catwalk
• What I want to be when I grow up (dress up day)

• Single colour Day: Everyone wears clothes in a chosen colour or choose 2 colours

Don't forget to tell us about your activity.  We'd love to hear stories and post your photos on our website.  Just email them to us after the event.
