Free school holiday activity – The Pillowcase Project

25 August 2022

Looking for a fun school holiday activity that might just save a life?

The Pillowcase Project is a disaster resilience education program designed to help children prepare psychologically and practically for an emergency.

Aimed at students in Years 3 and 4, the one hour workshop involves engaging discussions and interactive activities to help students:

• Understand and discuss the importance of being prepared
• Prepare their mind for the thoughts and feelings that may arise before, during and after an emergency
• Know the difference between need and want items and what to pack in an emergency kit.

Each student is then given a pillowcase to decorate and take home, to start their own personal emergency kit. Parents are welcome to stay at this event to speak with services about how they can best support their children in a crisis. Feel free to join the discussion!
