A morning tea was held at the school last Friday to raise funds for White Ribbon. Cakes and savouries were on sale - some had been prepared by TAS students and others donated by students and staff. The Barista Cafe de Forest was also open for delicious coffee. All funds raised are to be donated to the White Ribbon cause.
White Ribbon is Australia's only national, male-led campaign to end men's violence against women. Their vision is that all women live in safety free from all forms of men's violence and their mission is making women's safety a man's issue too. The campaign works through primary prevention intitiatives involving awareness raising and education, and programs with youth, schools, workplaces and across the broader community.
Globally, White Ribbon is the world's largest male-led movement to end men's violence against wome. Originating in Canada in 1991, White Ribbon is now active in more than 60 countries. In 2003, White Ribbon was brought to Australia by UNIFEM (now UN Women).
We thank all those involved in making the morning tea such a success.
