Students taking part in Walk In Her Shoes (CARE Australia Campaign)

Women and young girls walk an average of 6km every day to collect water, which can be unclean, for their families. They face risks of sexual assault, abduction and being eaten by apex predators, such as lions. A part of this initiative is to walk a certain distance in order to raise money to help reduce the distance young girls must walk to collect water, in turn protecting them from dangers and allowing more of their time to be spent in school.

As a year group, we walked around the bottom oval for an entire period carrying buckets of water as our way of walking in her shoes. Through this event we were able to appreciate what we have available in our country, whilst girls of the same age, with passions and dreams just like us, are forced to face this reality. We invited all the girls to make a donation if they would like and collectively we raised over $70.
Thank you to all the Year 11 girls for your enthusiasm and generosity that was shown.
