Courageous Kid Dress Up Day 

Express your inner child and celebrate them through fashion by taking part in Murdoch’s Courageous Kids Dress Up Day. 

We are talking pyjamas, cartoon characters and school uniforms! The sky is the limit, so get creative.  

Think about your favourite movies or books as a kid – it's your chance to become your favourite superhero or Disney character growing up! 

Still fit into your old school uniform? Dust if off and don it on campus. Or, if Saturday morning cartoons on the couch in your pyjamas were more your thing, then come to uni in your PJs.  

Whatever you choose to wear, your participation will help raise awareness of the importance of children’s mental health. With a gold coin donation to take part, the event will also raise funds for Beyond Blue. 

Make sure to drop off your gold coin donation at Wynette Francis at Front Reception (Chancellery),

Sir Walters or Bang Bang cafes on campus.
