Parent Guide: Prep to Year 2 & Year 3 to Year 6

Overview

The Department of Education, in consultation with experts in child safety education and other child protection partners, has developed the Daniel Morcombe Child Safety Curriculum. The Daniel Morcombe Child Safety Curriculum aims to assist students to Recognise, React and Report potentially dangerous situations. 

Through the Daniel Morcombe Child Safety Curriculum, teachers will deliver important learning experiences, informed by current safety education research that will assist students to better manage their own safety. 

The Parent Guide, for parents of students in Prep to Year 2 & Year 3 to 6 is part of a range of resources supporting the Daniel Morcombe Child Safety Curriculum and children’s safety. This Guide includes key safety messages, an outline of the lessons covered in this phase of the Daniel Morcombe Child Safety Curriculum and tips for communicating with your children. In addition there are resources you can use at home and strategies to support children who report harmful situations. 

If you have any questions or concerns please see your child’s class teacher or contact me.

Enjoy a healthy week!
