Day for Daniel

On the 25th October 2024, the Day for Daniel will be recognised in schools across the Sunshine Coast and increasingly, across the state and country. It is a time to acknowledge the potential threats to our community and educate our students on ways to keep them safe.

Fortunately, examples of actual harm to our children in their neighbourhoods are rare, and our communities' connection is strong. Unfortunately, many of us are aware of the devastating impact that the disappearance of Daniel Morcombe had on his family and the community in general. In the passing years, his family have fought hard to make sure that his memory will live on through the foundation and every year, the child safety message is communicated.

The foundation website, https://danielmorcombe.com.au/  has many resources about how we may equip our children to understand and read signs that aim to keep them safe. These resources are age-appropriate and cover a range of topics and I encourage you to peruse them and discuss their contents with your children.
