Well it was a jam-packed day when Steph and Jess from the VGen State Team joined the Coolum State High School Vision Group on the Sunshine Coast to share in their famine launch on Friday 21st August! The group were spreading the famine fever to all corners of their school, holding a 'White Faces' day. The group facilitated interactive workshops focused on the GFC with various grade 8 and 9 classes throughout the day, held a BBQ during lunchtime to raise funds, were busy painting faces (with white paint of course) and even had some of the VGroup members dress up as 'Kiss' for the day- the idea behind this was to 'Kiss Poverty Goodbye'!
The group did a fantastic job of raising awareness about the 40 Hr Famine and in educating other students (and teachers who joined in!) about the Global Food Crisis and even signed up more students at lunch for the famine. The school was covered in famine posters for the day and the Kiss band certainly attracted a lot of attention. On the weekend, the school's chaplain opened up his property for students doing the famine to come along and join in for some fun games and activities- pumping up the famine atmosphere over the weekend!
Well done Coolum SHS!
