Loud shirts

A local childcare centre is currently the only local business or school taking part in Loud Shirt Day on Friday, May 16.

Children at Umina Childcare Centre will wear their "loudest" shirt, dress, shorts and socks on the day to raise funds for deaf and hearing impaired children.

"Over one million Australian children are born deaf or hearing impaired each year," Shepherd Centre chief executive officer Mr John Bowie said.

Groups and individuals can get involved in Loud Shirt Day by registering on 02 9351 7888 or online at www.loudshirtday.com.au.
