For over 75 years, trusted and respected charity PCYC Queensland in partnership with the Queensland Police Services has been providing young people with an environment that supports individual development, encourages community connection, and celebrates diversity.
From far north, out west through to South East Queensland, our clubs, Fun Squad Services, youth programs and activities create opportunities for lifelong learning that build safer, healthier communities through youth development.
Empowering Young Minds: Introducing Our New Children’s Book – ‘I Expect Respect !’
We recently announced the release of our first ever children’s book, designed specifically for use in our Outside School Hours Fun centers across Queensland. This innovative resource aims to challenge harmful gender stereotypes and attitudes associated with domestic and family violence, fostering a safe and supportive environment for all children.
Developed in collaboration with experts in youth services, domestic violence prevention, and education, our book is more than just a story — it’s a powerful tool for change. It encourages children to explore and understand their identities, while promoting self-worth and respect for others.
By integrating this book into our Fun Squad curriculum, PCYC Queensland aims to equip children with the knowledge and confidence they need to foster healthy relationships and reject harmful attitudes.
Together, we can cultivate a generation that values respect, empathy, and understanding.
The storybook and facilitation guide are now available for purchase. The storybook is available in print and digital (Kindle), and the facilitation guide is available in digital. We recommend purchasing both assets for use in an educational environment.
