Although the sleepout could not take part at Optus Stadium again, students slept out at their schools and in their backyards so they could still take part in the important cause. Students worked together to complete various tasks which were sent via text and email. They made the soup in the Chapel servery and joined together around the fire to en...joy delicious soup, and reflect on the plight of the homeless youth of Perth. Students retired for the night and slept under the alfresco outside the Chapel. They built makeshift windbreaks with trestles tables to help shelter from the cold wind. All funds raised by the sleepout go directly to the Street Connect Bus which is on the streets of Perth to be available to homeless youth. This year students across the state raised $93,000! This is a new record and an amazing effort by the 320 students that slept out. So far, our students have raised $1840 towards their $2000 goal. Thank you all for your donations and support!
