What it is

Students respond, in writing or artwork, to age-appropriate questions about what it means to feel safe, who they can turn to, and why speaking up matters.

Kindergarten to Year 12, written or visual entries
One or two classroom sessions is enough
Aligns with protective-behaviours content already in the Health & Physical Education curriculum
Prizes for students, and a wellbeing grant of $200–$1,000 for your school
Free to take part

What it asks of you

Flexible. One class, a year group, or the whole school — whatever suits.
Teacher-led, inside your own program. Not another thing bolted on.
Nothing explicit. No child is asked to disclose anything about their own life.
It supports your safeguarding, it doesn't replace it. Your policies and reporting obligations are unchanged.

Your students' details never leave your school

Your school keeps your students' names and their signed consent forms. Entries are submitted to us under a code and judged without us knowing who made them. The Foundation never receives a child's identity.

Thank you! Your submission has been received!

HOW TO GET STARTED

You need three documents to run this

Everything else below is context, governance, or optional. This one page explains what's what — worth 60 seconds before you download anything.

Start here — what you actually need (1 page)

For wellbeing coordinators & teachers

Give the first to your counsellor or child safety lead. The next three are the teacher's whole job.

1 · Wellbeing Coordinator GuideFor your counsellor, psychologist or child safety lead. What to expect, where responsibility sits, and how disclosures are handled 2 · Teachers PackEverything you need: the prompts for each year level, how to run a session, how to submit 3 · Safeguarding Response GuideOne page. What to do if a student tells you something 4 · Parent, Guardian or Carer Consent FormOne per student entry. Signed and kept at your school — you never send it to us

For school leadership

Read once, decide, file.

1 · Executive BriefThe case for taking part, in three pages. This is the one to read if you're deciding 2 · Program Overview and AddendumThe full detail — every category, prompt, prize and segment.

Entry Tokeniser

Turns your class list into anonymous entry codes on your own computer, so entries reach us under a code and judges never see a name. You can switch off the wifi and it keeps working — that's the point.
