Sunshine Beach State School students, staff and families are wearing red today to show their support for the Day for Daniel. This special day was run by The Daniel Morcombe Foundation Inc. who are committed to Keeping Kids Safe. Established by parents Bruce and Denise Morcombe in 2005 after their son Daniel was abducted and murdered in December 2003 while waiting to catch a bus on the Sunshine Coast. The Foundation was established as a lasting legacy to Daniel and now has two main aims; to educate children on how to stay safe in a physical and online environment and to support young victims of crime.
Sunshine Beach was proud to be involved for the 14th year and staff support this goal by focusing on raising awareness about child safety and protection, educating children regarding their personal safety, and empowering them to Recognise, React, and Report.
Year 5 student Phoebe, who has supported the Day for Daniel since she was in Prep, realises the importance of this day.
‘I love dressing in red on Day for Daniel. It is important because it teaches kids about child safety,’ she said.Sunshine Beach students, staff and families stand united to keep kids safe.
