A huge thank you to everyone who joined us last night for our Online Safety Parent Information Evening!
It was fantastic to see such a great turnout of parents and guardians committed to keeping our students safe online.
We were thrilled to host Wayne Denner, who provided an eye-opening, practical and often humorous look at the realities of the digital landscape. From understanding the latest app trends to managing "digital footprints," Wayne gave us plenty of food for thought.
💡 Key Takeaways from Wayne:
Connection over Monitoring: Building trust and open dialogue with your child is more effective than any tracking app.
The 24-Hour Rule: Encouraging kids to think before they post, as "delete" is rarely permanent.
Privacy is Power: Regularly checking privacy settings on gaming consoles and social platforms is a must.
Digital Wellbeing: Setting healthy boundaries for screen time benefits the whole family, not just the kids!
"Safety isn't about blocking the world out; it's about teaching our children how to navigate it wisely."
Let’s keep the conversation going at home.
Together, we can empower our young people to be responsible, savvy digital citizens.
