Digital Safety
Please remember that it's important to continue to have discussions with your children about acceptable use of devices, and online safety, especially at this time with both the number of people online and the potentially extended time students, are using the internet.
It could also be a great opportunity to revise or create a Family Technology Agreement - the link below will give you some ideas about how to do this.
The eSafety Commissioner has released the Australian Edition Aus edition - Global online safety advice for parents and carers (PDF, 1.1MB) resource. At this challenging time, we encourage all parents to have a read in order to support children with the safe use of technology.
