Burdekin Christian College (BCC) took great pride in its core values of inclusivity and celebrating each child’s uniqueness.
A special event was recently held to raise awareness of Turner Syndrome — a condition that affects only females and occurs when one of the X chromosomes is missing or partially missing. The College community was encouraged to turn the campus into a sea of purple, the official colour of Turner Syndrome Awareness Day, in support of this important initiative and one of their own students who is affected by the syndrome.
Students also had the opportunity to create purple butterflies, which were proudly displayed throughout the College as a symbol of support. Those wearing purple were asked to bring a gold coin donation for the Turner Syndrome Foundation.
A special thank you was extended to the dedicated College Captains who organised the event, and to Mrs Smart for preparing a delicious purple cake enjoyed by all. The College looked vibrant and uplifting, decorated with the beautiful purple butterflies crafted by the students.
The fundraising effort was a huge success, raising an impressive $464 in support of the Turner Syndrome Association. The butterfly badges proved especially popular, selling out by morning tea as they quite literally ‘flew’ out the door.
The student in BCC, who suffers from Turners Syndrome, shared how seeing the College transformed into a sea of purple made her feel truly special and supported.
