It's the day we spend raising awareness about child protection. We wear red and walk in the community to help everyone remember the price a little boy and his family paid to achieve this level of awareness.
It's also the day we celebrate World Teachers' Day. The rest of the world celebrate their teachers on 5 October - schools in Australia are closed on 5 October. Teachers and students are on holidays and preparing for Term 4. This actually makes having both these events on the same day even worse and more puzzling - it's moved from 5 October because we're off enjoying ourselves and instead it is scheduled for the most sombre day of the year - the last Friday of October!
Our teachers and I want it changed. Who do we ask? What would it take?
I want to try.
