STEWART HOUSE PYJAMA DAY – Wednesday, 19 AUGUST 2026

Following the success of our inaugural year, join us again to support children taking a break at Stewart House

On Wednesday, 19 August 2025, we’re inviting all NSW public schools to once again join our Stewart House Pyjama Day! It’s a fun way for students to ditch their uniforms for PJs, all while helping other kids who desperately need a break. If that date doesn’t work for your school, you’re welcome to choose another day that suits, every bit of participation makes a difference.

Your contribution makes a direct difference:

  • Every gold coin adds up to give children comfort and care during their stay at Stewart House.
  • $182 funds all program benefits for one day, including meals, accommodation, health activities, and education.
  • $2,000 fully supports a student from your region for their life-changing 12-day program, offering comprehensive care and support.

There’s no registration required. Just pop the date in your calendar and join in!

By participating in Pyjama Day, your school community helps us continue this vital work, giving kids a safe place to rest, heal, learn and build brighter futures.

We would love this to be a “students helping students” initiative so please select some people from your leadership team or parliament to collect and count the money and hand it to your office staff. Send us a photo and tell us how many students at your school got involved!

How to send your Pyjama Day funds:

  1. Collect & Count: Staff collect and count all donations.
  2. Bank It: Deposit the total into your school’s account as you normally would.
  3. Pay Online: Head to www.stewarthouse.org.au/donate to pay the full amount. When you reach the drop-down fields, select:
