Tasmania Supports ‘Day-for-Daniel’ 2009
Day for Daniel 2009 is to be held on 30th October. Promoted as a vehicle for child safety
education it is more than an awareness day.

schools in Tasmania registered their support online, the highest of any state. This year
we are looking to increase that number.” Said Bruce Morcombe
We invite all schools to take the opportunity to join us and participate in some form of
child safety education. Topics could cover; Body Ownership, Internet Safety, No Secrets,
Safety Network or improving ones Self Esteem.

Background:

Daniel in December 2003.
Now in its 5th year the Day for Daniel continues to grow on a national scale and is
recognized as Australia’s largest participation event of its type. In 2008 over 250
schools from all across Australia, including almost 50 from Tasmania took part and this
year up to 500,000 school aged children are expected to participate.
A variety of activities are suggested and these can range from:
