THIS cage at Parade College in Bundoora will become ‘home’ for more than 20 students.
Chris (pictured) is one of several students who have volunteered to be imprisoned in the cage for 24 hours to raise awareness of the detention centre conditions some refugees face when they arrive in Australia.
The students will go without mobile phones, laptops and all electronic gear, and live on a diet of dried soup mix, apples, barley sugar and water.
Two staff members will join them in the cage. Some students will fast for the 24-hour lock-up. This is the third year the college has held the cage protest.
