Dear Parents, Guardians and Carers,
Hard to believe we are almost at the end of term 3. This term certainly has flown by with many school events completed.
National Child Protection Week: September 7-14 2025.
Every conversation matters: Shifting Conversation to Action
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.
