NAPCAN: Prevent Child Abuse & Neglect
This theme highlights that while open discussions are crucial, words alone are not enough: we must turn dialogue into meaningful action.
NAPCAN acknowledges that while conversations can raise awareness, challenge harmful norms, and spark new ideas, real change happens when we take steps to create safer environments for children that prevent them from harm.
This year, we are focusing on moving beyond conversations to concrete actions that prevent harm and instead, focussing on strengthening support systems, and empowering communities to actively protect children.
By shifting from conversation to action, we can ensure that every child not only feels heard but also experiences real safety, care, and protection.
RUOK? Day: A conversation can change a life
R U OK? inspire and empower everyone to meaningfully connect with the people around them and start a conversation with those in their world who may be struggling with life.
You don't need to be an expert to reach out - just a good friend and a great listener.
Use these four steps and have a conversation that could change a life:
- Ask R U OK?
- Listen
- Encourage action
- Check in
Thursday 11th September is RUOK? Day and we invited students to wear a splash of yellow with their school uniform. At this week's assembly our student leaders offered the suggestions of hair ribbons, nail polish or any other simple 'splash of yellow' accessories.
