On Friday the 23rd of October, Room 19, along with their peers from across the school, went on two excursions. One group went to the ESSN Soccer Carnival in Lynwood as part of the Senior and Junior teams and had a fun day playing many rounds of soccer. The Senior team were the runners-up, and the Junior team came home with the trophy! Well done!
The other group went to What Ability outside Optus Stadium for a fun-filled day of exploring accessible sports and physical activities. The students had lots of fun exploring the ninja obstacle course and going up and down the inflatable slide. Some students even got to go on a tour of Optus Stadium and visited the West Coast Eagles’ locker room. It was an exciting but exhausting day. Thank you to Ms Sawyer and Mrs Donovan for organising such a great experience!

A friendly reminder that tomorrow you are invited to wear Red to school and bring along a Gold Coin Donation.

This Friday, 30 October, is Day for Daniel 2026.

Day for Daniel is Australia’s largest National Day of Action for child safety, encouraging children and adults to learn how to recognise, respond to and report unsafe situations.

I know this time of year is busy, so rather than adding another task to everyone's list, I've attached a small selection of fun, creative activities that can be printed and used with your students if you wish.

As Protective Behaviours is already an important part of our teaching and learning, these activities are simply an opportunity to acknowledge Day for Daniel, reinforce familiar safety messages and encourage conversations in a relaxed and engaging way.

As we head into the final term of the school year, many families are already managing end-of-year expenses while also starting to think about the costs that come with the new school year.
I'd love your help in sharing Saver Plus with families who may benefit. Saver Plus is a free program that helps eligible families build their savings and receive up to $500 in matched funding for education-related expenses such as school uniforms, laptops, textbooks, camps and extracurricular activities.
The final term is a great time for families to get started, build their savings habits, and work towards education costs for the year ahead.
If possible, we'd greatly appreciate you sharing Saver Plus through your newsletter, parent communications or social media channels.

Daniel’s story and legacy
For anyone who may be unfamiliar with the significance of this day, Daniel Morcombe was a 13-year-old boy who lived with his parents and brothers in Palmwoods on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.
On Sunday, 7 December 2003, Daniel went missing while waiting for a bus to travel to a local shopping centre to buy Christmas presents for his family. He was last seen at approximately 2:10 pm, wearing a red T-shirt. Daniel was abducted and murdered, and despite years of searching and an extensive police investigation, his remains were not found until 2011.
In the wake of their devastating loss, Daniel’s parents, Bruce and Denise Morcombe, established the Daniel Morcombe Foundation to give back to the community that had supported their family and to help protect other children.

Today, the Foundation is a leading Australian child safety organisation, providing education and resources to help children stay safe and empowering adults to play an active role in protecting them.
Daniel’s legacy has helped shape child safety education across Australia. The red T-shirt he was wearing when he went missing has become a symbol of child safety awareness, with thousands of Australians wearing red each year on the last Friday in October to mark Day for Daniel.
Ultimately, Day for Daniel is about more than wearing red or participating in an activity. It is an opportunity to reinforce the importance of listening to children, recognising their concerns, teaching them that their voices matter and ensuring they know which trusted adults they can turn to for help.

Thank you all for your ongoing commitment to keeping our students safe and for supporting this important day.

Showing our support on Friday
Staff and students are encouraged to wear red on Friday to show their support for Day for Daniel and help raise awareness of child safety.

For those who are able to, donations can be made through the online donation link below. Gold coin donations can also be made in person through Donna at the front office.
