It is to support the Daniel Morcombe Foundation and is a great way to promote the important role of emergency crews in the community, while raising funds for the worthy cause.
Emergency services, including police, fire, ambulance and SES will visit the school on October 19 at 11.30am.
“It’s a great way to show the kids what our emergency service people do. It’s a great way of humanising what we teach the kids,” principal Jock Garven said.
“We want to have our children engaged in real life learning, to arm them to be safe and secure growing up in our community.”
Students are encouraged to wear red for a gold coin donation, with all money raised going to the Daniel Morcombe Foundation.
Day for Daniel is Australia's largest child safety awareness and education day with a goal to make Australia a safe place for all children.
