Students join walk for Daniel

Noosa District State High School Year 11 student leaders joined thousands of school students from the Sunshine Coast to walk alongside Bruce and Denise Morcombe to commemorate Daniel Morcombe’s memory and raise awareness of child safety on Friday.

The students also walked alongside the Day for Daniel patron television presenter Kay McGrath and Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Ruzh Carroll.

The Commissioner advised students to be careful driving on Sunshine Coast roads.

“I have a daughter in Year 11. We all have to look out for each other on the roads, and obey the rules,” she said.

Mr Morcombe thanked students for their support.

“We really appreciate Noosa district’s support over the years at this walk,” he said.

The students felt privileged to have the opportunity to partake in such an important day.
