The CHPS Update #20
October 24th, 2022
Welcome to Term 4!
CHPS is certainly going to be a busy term. There is so much learning, activities and events happening. Look out for more information here and on COMPASS and ClassDojo.
October 2022 Calendar
DAY FOR DANIEL - Friday 28th October - WEAR RED
Students and staff are invited to wear RED on Friday October 28th and bring in a gold coin donation.
Day for Daniel is a National Day of Action hosted by the Daniel Morcombe Foundation (DMF) to raise awareness of child safety, protection and harm prevention. Held on the last Friday of October each year, it is about educating children and adults about keeping kids safe through child safety and protection initiatives. 'Wear Red and Educate' is the theme for the day.
The objectives of Day for Daniel are:
- to educate children regarding their personal safety and empower them to 'Recognise, React and Report' when they feel something is not right.
- to raise awareness about child safety and protection, and to promote a safer community for children.
- to educate and equip individuals and communities with knowledge and skills to understand child safety and protection requirements and empower them to take action.
- to honour the memory of Daniel Morcombe.
