Sea of blue for Dolly
Friday, May 9, marked 'Do it for Dolly Day' where many schools and community groups turned blue in honour of Dolly Everett's dream of a world free of bullying.
Dolly Everett was only 14 years old when she took her own life as a result of ongoing bullying and cyberbullying.
Her parents Kate and Tick Everett established Dolly's Dream in 2018 alongside her older sister Meg to help change the culture of bullying by addressing the impact of bullying, anxiety, depression and youth suicide through education and offering direct support to young people and families.
'Do it for Dolly Day' is a national fundraising campaign that takes place in May, encouraging Australians to go blue for the cause.
Dimboola Memorial Secondary College (DMSC) honoured this day as their Student Voice and Leadership (SVL) group organised the day.
The school saw a sea of blue parade around campus and students enjoyed a slice of butterfly cake at recess.
