Nick Andreula, Training Resource Support Officer Metro Academy said about the day, “Wear it Purple Day is an annual LGBTIQA+ awareness day especially for young people, based in Australia. Metro Academy also got into the spirit of wearing purple and decorating the office in all things purple to celebrate diversity and LGBTIQA+ community. Jess Krammer took it to another level and was officially named our cheerleader for the day. 

It was really great to see so many staff at the Academy get behind such an important day and spread the message to celebrate and promote the values of diversity, inclusion and raise awareness about sexuality, sex and gender identity challenges. I in particular took a special interest in the day as organisations or support groups like Wear It Purple weren’t available through my journey.
We at the Academy are looking forward to making Wear It Purple Day Bigger and Better next year, and will continue to be part of the movement that has the potential to save thousands of lives.
