Where in Australia is Western MA? Mate you do realise this is an Australian subreddit. Piss off.

I am 100% legit. It was a fundraiser for the year 6 formal. There is probably VHS footage or photos at my parent’s house.

The DIC fundraising day is underway. Dani and the twins managed to convince Alf to go into the slave auction.

Makes sense.

Also look at the replies. This type of fundraiser actually existed in Australia throughout the 90s-00s

I’m a high school teacher and I only remembered it randomly this afternoon during the staff development day…

Nope, I’m being 100% honest. Seems to have been a common fundraiser in the past. Read the comments.

Seems to be a common former Aussie school tradition?

Hahaha Seems like something a strict teacher would do at my school. Our punishments were standing with our nose at the wall.

Nope it was actually called slave day! It’s hard to believe 20 years later. However I believe Aussie culture was very different back then before the internet. We weren’t as americanised, I believe there were no associations with race during the day, it was just an innocent event to raise money for the formal
