In a seriously fun move for children’s safety, Fun Squad is launching Rights Around the World, which has been developed with Children’s Rights Queensland to support children’s understanding of their rights in everyday, real-life moments.
PCYC Queensland’s Fun Squad is one of the largest Outside School Hours Service providers in Queensland and is committed to teaching children positive behaviour, respectful relationships and a culture of inclusion with these new resources.
The Rights Around the World Big Activity Book introduces important rights such as safety, belonging, being heard, cultural identity, play and participation. The accompanying Rights Passport is a special passport that each child will use throughout 2026, and includes activities, personal reflection pages and opportunities to show learning and thinking.
PCYC’s Acting General Manager Fun Squad Karly Sheppard said these resources are already helping children learn about their rights in fun and meaningful ways.
“The Rights Around the World resources inspire children to explore, create, and take action, helping every child feel safe, respected, included, and heard,” Karly said.
“It’s a great way for children to start conversations about what rights are, why they are important, and what responsibilities come with those rights. We are already seeing some wonderful discussions happening.”
The resources support shared language about children’s rights across OSHC and school settings, enhance children’s emotional literacy and social skills, support positive behaviour, respectful relationships and a culture of inclusion and provide opportunities for children to express their ideas and participate in decision-making.
Rights Around the World Big Activity Book and Rights Passport are rolling out now in Fun Squads across the state.
