Cyber Safety advice from an expert
On the 13th March our school hosted Cyber safety expert Brett Lee from Internet Safe Education. He spoke to our Year 3 to 6 students during the day, then to our staff and parents after school. Brett is an engaging and informative speaker and provided our students, staff and parents with some valuable insights in how to use and enjoy all that the Internet has to offer safely and how to guide our children in the safe use of the Internet.
The flyer below provides parents with 5 key messages and actions to assist them in managing technology in their home. It also has the link to the Internet Safe Education website which contains lots of resources and information on cyber safety.

Parents as partners program
This year we conducted a very successful Parents as Partners Program for our 2018 Foundation parents. We really enjoyed working with our parents to help them become familiar with many school processes and learn about the ways in which we can work together to ensure every child achieves the best possible education. Many parents requested that we post these notes on our website so they could refer back to them when needed.
