Senior students of Toormina High have taken the initiative to create a Gay/Straight Alliance (GSA) within the school. The aim of this innovative group is to unite students regardless of their sexual orientation or gender expression.
The GSA provides a safe haven where students can discuss sexual orientation and gender issues in a supportive environment, as well as encouraging acceptance and tolerance throughout the school.
Students have taken a positive view of the group and a large number have taken interest in coming to meetings and participating in events such as the national Wear it Purple Day on September 7.
