Wishart State School is supporting Day for Daniel on Friday October 30, 2020.
Day for Daniel is Australia’s largest day of action to raise awareness of child safety, protection, and harm prevention. Held annually on the last Friday of October, Day for Daniel honours the memory of Daniel Morcombe. Parents, carers, and educators are encouraged to start a conversation with children and young people about personal safety.
The theme is to wear red and educate our students. On Friday 30th October, Wishart State School students and staff are invited and encouraged to wear something red (sun safe) to raise awareness of child safety issues. In addition to this, Wishart State School will be conducting child safety education activities which have been developed by the Daniel Morcombe Foundation. The ‘Keeping Kids Safe’ resources support students to ‘Recognise, React and Report’ when they feel unsafe. Developing an understanding of respectful relationships is also a key learning area within the resource.
Why do we wear red?
People are encouraged to wear red on Day for Daniel in remembrance of Daniel Morcombe. Daniel was wearing a red t-shirt on 7th December 2003 when he found himself in an unsafe situation. Wearing red links Daniel’s very real story to the importance of safety education. It provides a message of strength and hope that together we can make the world safer for all children as a legacy to Daniel and his family.
