Day for Daniel

Friday 28^th October is Day for Daniel. As a community, we are all familiar with Daniel’s story and appreciate the great work his parents have done through the Daniel Morcombe Foundation. At the Prep – Year 5 Assembly next week, I will remind students of the need to be safe when travelling to and from school. This message will centre upon reminding students not to get into cars with or go anywhere with strangers. There are numerous resources about child safety available online, including:

• http://www.napcan.org.au/home
• http://www.mychildsafety.net/stranger-danger.html

Parents are encouraged to discuss and reinforce this important message with their children. The imperative thing to remember when teaching your children about stranger danger is to instil confidence, rather than fear.
