Daniel Morcombe Foundation Visit

Students, teachers and parents welcomed child safety ambassadors Bruce and Denise Morcombe last Thursday.  Bruce and Denise, from the Daniel Morcombe Foundation, delivered a presentation on how children can keep themselves safe, both in the real wold and online.

Everyone learned about the importance of having a safety network, creating a "Family Password", and listening to body clues - feelings of nervousness or discomfort - when confronted with dangerous situations.

Students were also taught how to respond to people who made them feel unsafe, by standing firm and saying "No! My body belongs to me!"

The three key messages from the presentation were Recognise, React and Report.
