Decorate Your Space: National Child Protection Week 2024

Decorate Your Space invites our communities — including Catholic Schools, St Nicholas, CatholicCare, and Parishes — to decorate a space in a way that uniquely reflects their commitment to children’s safety and wellbeing in line with the theme of National Child Protection Week ‘Every conversation matters’ for the chance to win some fantastic prizes.

‘Decorate Your Space’ is the evolution of the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle’s highly successful ‘Decorate Your Gate’ initiative, which was held as part of National Child Protection Week in 2022 and 2023.

Our communities can still decorate their gate if they choose, or they can decorate their fence, wall, door, desk, or floor –  the only limit is your imagination!

We can’t wait to see all the entries!

Prizes

St Nicholas services can enter for the chance to win $500 (1x Early Education prize, 1x OOSH prize).

What else is happening?

The National Child Protection Week webpage on the Office of Safeguarding’s website has been updated with several new resources to support our communities. These include:

  • Children’s Activity Booklet
  • Activity ideas for early learning centres and schools
  • Ideas for staff and professional development
  • Information regarding free webinars hosted by NAPCAN

These resources are designed to equip children, families, and staff and children with the skills and strategies to identify, respond to, and seek assistance in a range of unsafe situations. Please feel free to explore these resources and share them with your friends and communities.
