Day for Daniel - 'Capital to the Coast'
The ‘Capital to the Coast’ tour was a joint initiative between the AFP and the Daniel Morcombe Foundation which took place in the week leading into Day for Daniel in October 2015. The Daniel Morcombe Foundation promotional truck, ‘Big Red’, toured primary schools from Canberra to the NSW South Coast delivering child safety presentations.
The tour started in Canberra on Friday 23 October and concluded on the NSW South Coast on Thursday 29 October. ‘Big Red’ stopped at various towns along the way including Queanbeyan, Braidwood, Batemans Bay and Narooma, to reach as many schools as possible and help educate kids on how to keep safe. Schools in the ACT who registered for Day for Daniel also had the exciting opportunity to secure ‘Big Red’ on Friday 30 October – Day for Daniel.
The educational tour was targeted at primary school students in grades four to six and aimed to educate children on how to recognise, react and report potential dangers and threats.
