Friday 19 May 2023 is a Mufti-day “Pink Shirt Day” in support of Awareness. Stop bullying by celebrating diversity and promoting positive social relationships.

Must wear pink. No donation/collection required.

Pink Shirt Day movement in 2023!

Will you join the movement on Friday, 19 May 2023 to stop bullying and spread kindness?

We’re asking New Zealanders to Speak Up and Stand Together to Stop Bullying by celebrating Pink Shirt Day!

Anyone can celebrate Pink Shirt Day. Whether you’re a teacher, student, workplace or individual, join the movement.

Celebrated annually around the globe, Pink Shirt Day began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying, mobilising their whole school, after a peer was bullied for wearing a pink shirt.

In New Zealand, Pink Shirt Day aims to create schools, workplaces and communities where all people feel safe, valued and respected.

The College mufti dress code applies. That is:
  • Clothing, although casual, must be appropriate for a college environment;
  • No slogans referring to smoking, alcohol and drugs, any sexual or inappropriate connotations;
  • The mid-section of the body is to be covered and any student wearing a skirt or shorts deemed inappropriate will be required to wear one provided by the College (all skirts and shorts should be at least mid-thigh in length i.e. no midi/mini-skirts or short shorts);
  • Footwear is to be smart/ casual.  School shoes will be issued to students who wear inappropriate footwear.  Suitable footwear, i.e. enclosed shoes, must be worn for practical classes (Health & PE, Science and Technology).
  • The normal standards of hair colour apply so please do not colour your hair for the day;
  • Do not bring any props or costumes, as they may be inappropriate or be a distraction to learning in the classroom.
