Respect Starts Here schools competition

A competition for NT primary school kids asks kids to draw what respect for elders means to them.

Published: 7 May 2024

COTA NT and Relationships Australia-NT (RA:NT) are organising the Respect Starts Here initiative.

This is a competition for NT primary school children (aged 5 to 12) – they’re asked to enter a drawing to what respect for elders means to them.

This competition will not only generate awareness of elder abuse but may also serve as a catalyst for starting age-appropriate discussions about elder abuse.

COTA NT and RA:NT are hopeful that education about elder abuse and domestic violence can start in our primary schools.

Support and help If you know any primary aged children consider asking their parent, carer, or teacher to talk about the competition.
