We are supporting the Allison Baden-Clay Foundation which was created in memory of a lady who was a victim of domestic violence in Brisbane. As a family, they have created a foundation to not only raise awareness, but they are building it to be able to take action to stop domestic violence. As a college, we will be doing our part next Thursday and we ask for everyone to do their part by wearing denim or partaking in the heart creation.
