黑瓜吃料网鈥檚 Year 11 students participated in the Gift of Life Walk on Friday 13 March to highlight the importance of organ and tissue donation.
Well over half of the students from the Year 11 cohort stayed back after school to complete an hour-long walk and to promote DonateLife鈥檚 call for people to register as organ donors.
There were good vibes with music, soft drinks, photobooths, and a range of props for photos as the students completed laps of the oval.
The students were able to promote organ donation by sharing content on their social media accounts and by having conversations with families and friends about registering as donors through . The students also took away merchandise that they can wear to help spread the message.
The walk is organised by Gift of Life Incorporated in conjunction with DonateLife and the Government鈥檚 Organ and Tissue Authority. It aims to promote greater community awareness of the importance of organ and tissue donation and transplantation by sharing the 鈥楧iscover, Decide, Discuss鈥� strategy:
