Students and staff were encouraged to “go purple” for epilepsy and bring a gold coin donation to raise money for the cause.

All up the school raised $116.10.

Epilepsy is a common brain disorder which takes the form of recurring seizures. It can develop at any age, regardless of gender or ethnicity. An estimated 65 million worldwide currently live with epilepsy - in Australia alone approximately 250,000 people live with epilepsy and one in 25 people will have epilepsy at some point in their life.

Purple Day aims to encourage people to talk about epilepsy and to remind those who live with seizures, that they are not alone.
