Yarra Glen Primary School celebrated World Kindness Day in style by donning Kind is Cool T-shirts to help spread a positive message.
Socially-conscious clothing label Kind is Cool donated apparel to teachers to wear for the occasion.
The partnership came about as Kind is Cool founder Amber Wilkinson has her two sons Chet and Nash attending the school.
Having partnered with Bully Zero, Mrs Wilkinson is on a mission for make the world a kinder place for all humans as $2 from every Kind Is Cool product sold goes to the anti-bullying organisation.
Grade ½ teacher and learning specialist Courtney Wood told the Mail, “We are celebrating World Kindness Day by doing lots of different activities in the classroom and focusing about what we can do in the community to be kind.
“We talk to students about how people have an invisible bucket, and by being kind you help fill their bucket up. And if you’re being negative or nasty towards them, you are dipping out of their bucket and emptying it.
“There’s a lot of negativity in the world and if we can do an act of kindness each day, it’ll make the world a better place,” Ms Wood said.
Mrs Wilkinson said it’s an honour to see members of her community proudly wearing the Kind is Cool T-shirts.
“We love it here, and we love what they’re doing with the kids,” she said.
“Our core value is to teach the next generation that being kind is cool.”
