In support of Child Protection Week, Tannum Sands Kindergarten will be shining a light on child protection and spreading the message that protecting children is everyone’s responsibility and that every conversation matters.

During the week the kindergarten will be hosting a Parent Information Session including speakers from Women’s Health and Detectives from the Queensland Police Child Protection Unit. Visits from police, ambulance and fire brigade will occur to foster a sense of trust between emergency personnel, children and their families.

The week will involve various craft activities such as creating Child Protection themed posters – Children’s handprints to make display to explain safety networks and prevention of abuse and neglect. A children’s handprint tree poster ‘Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think’.
The children will create a take home handprint calico bags. Each finger identifying adults from their safely network. Bag will contain child protection themed colouring pages, a badge the children make and the book ‘My Body, My Rules’ by Nicki Gill.

Tannam Sands Kindergarten have registered for BraveHearts Day for Friday 6th September and the children will dress in their favourite superhero costume to “Be Brave for the Day”. All donations will go to Bravehearts
