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
