AUSTRALIA'S BIGGEST CHILD SAFETY LESSON
The Daniel Morcombe Foundation was established in honour of Daniel Morcombe to make Australia a safer place for children. The aims of the Foundation are to educate children and young people about how to stay safe in physical and online environments and to support young victims of crime.

In 2020, for the first time, the Daniel Morcombe Foundation is producing two editions of ABCSL. On 25 June, they will focus on online safety strategies for children aged 8 to 12. On 10 September, as part of National Child Protection Week, they will deliver key messages about secrets for children aged 4 to 7. Years 3 to 6 will view Australia’s Biggest Child Safety Lesson (ABCSL) via livestream this Thursday at 10am. You can view the trailer for the ABCSL at this link: https://youtu.be/3aDaIYJ_510

BEE YOURSELF FREE DRESS DAY
Thank you to everyone who supported the Bee Yourself Free Dress day last Friday. The Outreach group were very excited to have raised $410 in aid of our local St Vincent de Paul charity organisation. It was very wonderful to see the excitement on all the children’s faces as they participated in the games and activities at both lunch breaks. In terms of which activity drew the biggest crowd… we believe throwing the sponge at the teachers was the most popular! In discussion with year 6 at the end of the day, it was established that sometimes it is more important to just be yourself than try to be someone you are not. Lovely words of wisdom from our school leaders!
