Homelessness is a serious issue in Western Australia.
By Sleeping Out on Friday 8th August 2025, you can be part of the movement to end homelessness.
Over 122,000 Australians go to sleep homeless every night.
Over 9,000 of those are Western Australians.
Of those, over 3,500 are young Western Australians under the age of 25.
Event Information
Please note: this is a school event, and all students attending must be accompanied by staff from their school. Please confirm that your school is registered for the event before you sign up.
Date
Start: 6pm Friday 8 August 2025
Finish: 7.30am Saturday 9 August 2025
Location
We will be sleeping overnight at Optus Stadium, located in Burswood WA. Entry is via Gate E where there are plenty of drop off bays and parking available. Ushers will be on hand to point you in the right direction from the carpark.
What will I need?
All you need is a sleeping bag and pillow. We advise that you do not bring anything valuable to the event as there is nowhere secure to store your belongings. The event organisers and the venue cannot be held responsible for the loss of personal items. Sports equipment such as balls are not allowed to be brought to the venue.
Food and Water
You will be provided with a light dinner on Friday evening and a light breakfast on Saturday morning. Water will be available from water dispensers on site, so you may want to bring a water bottle to refill at the Stadium.
What to Wear
It will get COLD overnight, so warm layers are appropriate. Jackets, beanies, gloves and warm socks are all approved and recommended!
See you there!
The difference you will make
Last year, the 2024 School Sleep Out was the biggest yet, with 520 students from 20 schools taking part. Collectively, they raised $214,912 to support Street Connect, a service helping young people who are either homeless or at risk of homelessness.
What will the 2025 Sleep Out students be able to achieve?
