Day for Daniel
Friday 25th October, 2024
The Day for Daniel is to honour the memory of Daniel Morcombe. On this very special day we encourage everyone to talk to children and young people about personal safety and how to stay safe in our community.
We are asking our school community to ‘wear a splash of red’ on Friday 25th October, to remember Daniel. Red represents child safety and is the colour of The Daniel Morcombe Foundation. Students at Pakenham Springs will participate in an activity to learn about child safety on the day.
Here is the website if you would like to make a donation to support The Daniel Morcombe Foundation. Your donation will help educate children about safety and support young victims of crime.

Mental Health changes over time in response to different stresses and experiences. There are many factors, both internal and external, that affect where someone generally sits on the mental health continuum, and also where they sit at any given point in time.
Remember to reach out to your support networks if unexpected thoughts or feelings arise. Professional support is always available when you need it.
NDIS Funding
The NDIS provides funding to eligible people with disability to gain more time with family and friends, greater independence, access to new skills, jobs, or volunteering in their community, and an improved quality of life.
The NDIS also connects anyone with a disability to services in their community.
This includes connections to doctors, community groups, sporting clubs, support groups, libraries and schools, as well as providing information about what support is provided by each state and territory government.
The NDIS now supports over 500,000 Australians with disability to access the services and support they need.
This includes supporting approximately 80,000 children with developmental delay, ensuring they receive support early so that they achieve the best outcomes throughout their lives.
How to apply for NDIS Funding
At PSPS, we value community input.
