Australia’s largest child safety education and awareness day
DAY FOR DANIEL
Friday 27 October, 2023
Held annually on the last Friday of October, Day for Daniel honours the memory of Daniel Morcombe. We ask all Australians on this very special day to Wear Red, Educate and Donate.
Parents, carers, and educators are encouraged to start a conversation with children and young people about personal safety. Schools and early learning centres conduct child safety education activities. Businesses and community come together to raise awareness of child safety issues. We are developing a new video resource that will be available for Day for Daniel education.
Day for Daniel here at St Benedict’s is a day of awareness, students CAN wear a red t-shirt and their school sports shorts to show support. Classes will participate in learning moments that teach how to stay safe.
The Boomer Challenge Parent & carer guide has been provided for you to support safer online interactions, normalises risk assessments and empowers online decision-making.
Yours in Support
