This year, St Teresa’s School combined their annual Pyjama Day with Reach for a Dream’s annual Slipper Day fundraiser.

According to computer teacher and marketing liaison at the school Lianda May, in addition to purchasing a sticker for Slipper Day which took place on 7 May, the girls were invited to bring new or used winter clothing and/or blankets to school to be donated through Sisters of Mercy to their various shelters and outreach projects.
