SAVE THE DATE – MARCH 2026
School can be especially challenging for children living with epilepsy. Seizures can disrupt learning, and the side effects of anti-seizure medications like fatigue and cognitive difficulties, can make it even harder to keep up.
With 1 in 200 Australian school-aged children affected by epilepsy, we’re inviting your school or centre to Purple Up next March to raise awareness and funds for epilepsy support.
💡 Getting involved is easy and fun! Your school could:
- 👕 Host a purple mufti day
- 🎨 Decorate classrooms and hallways with purple flair
- 🖍️ Run a purple chalk drawing event in the playground
- 📸 Hold a purple-themed art competition
International Purple Day is on Thursday 26 March 2026, but you can hold your event any time in March. We’ll be providing free resources to help make your purple celebration a success.
📅 Mark your Term 1 calendars now and start planning your purple event!
