COMMUNITY NEWS

DAY FOR DANIEL
I’m sure you have ached at some time contemplating the grief of the Morcombe family and the tragic loss of their son, Daniel. (Now 18 years ago.) Next Friday 29th, we remember, not just Daniel, but also the legacy his family has chosen to create for him in the Day for Daniel.

The Day for Daniel is a National Day of Action to raise awareness of child safety, protection and harm prevention.  It is about educating children and adults about keeping kids safe through child safety and protection initiatives. It aims to help empower our children to ‘Recognise, React and Report’ if they feel something is not right.  The objectives of Day for Daniel are:
  • To raise awareness about child safety and protection and to promote a safer community for children.
  • To educate children regarding their personal safety and empower them to ‘Recognise, React and Report’.
  • To provide free safety and educational material.
  • To honour the memory of Daniel Morcombe.
  • To have as many as possible Australia wide participate in Day for Daniel.

Day for Daniel is also an opportunity for Australians to make a statement that crimes against children are not acceptable in modern Australia.  Next Friday, we invite our children to wear red socks or a red ribbon in recognition of Day for Daniel.
MINI VINNIES - 3 HOUR CONTINUOUS TOUCH FOOTBALL GAME
​Our Mini Vinnies’ group as a fundraiser for our local St Vincent De Paul organisation, is conducting a three hour continuous game of touch football on Friday 22nd October (Week 3 Term 4) from 5pm until 8pm at the Touch Association fields, Barmaryee.

Children will be placed into teams of 12 with a teacher/adult supervising each team. 6 players are on the field at any one time.  Each child participating will receive a sausage sizzle, cupcake and fruit on the night.  Water bottles and suitable footwear (no bare feet) are essential.

Transport to and from the fields is each family’s responsibility. Let us know if you have any difficulties in this regard however.
