ONLINE SAFETY is more important now than ever before. 

As our school uses the various online platforms for learning please take a moment to read the information on the link above.

It is so important to have regular communication with your child regarding what they are accessing online.

Are you aware of what Apps and websites they are using?

Have you filters on home computers and tablets?

If you haven’t already done so, please start this conversation today.

Remember to ask your child:

Do they know how to stay safe?

Do they know what to do if they suspect something isn’t right online?
