End of Year Preparations
As we head into the last month of the school year, each day begins with a diary double check to see what's happening both in and around our school. I do smile when people ask, “Are you winding down” as the year finishes and my response is that we actually “wind up.” I suspect your home life, with Christmas on the horizon, may feel the same. Please keep an eye on the calendar and we look forward to seeing you at our end of year celebrations.

End of Year Uniform Reminder
As we approach the end of the school year, we want to ensure all students are wearing the correct school uniform each day. A huge thank you to the vast majority of our students and families who consistently support our uniform standards. Please make sure your child’s uniform is clean and tidy. Hats are required daily for sun safety. Thank you for helping us uphold these standards and for ensuring all students represent our school with pride and respect. If you have any questions or need assistance with uniform requirements, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Online Safety for Children in a Digital Age

In today’s increasingly digital world, it’s essential to address online safety for our children, who are often engaging with platforms like YouTube, and online games. While these can be enjoyable and educational, they also present risks. By working together as a community, we can help protect our children from online dangers and minimise issues that affect their school experience.

General Online Safety Tips

  • Open Communication: Maintain an open dialogue with your child about their online activities. Encourage them to talk to you if they encounter anything uncomfortable.
  • Set Boundaries: Establish screen time rules and limits on content. Don’t hesitate to say “No” even if your child claims “everyone else is allowed.”
  • Educate: Teach your child about internet safety and the importance of protecting personal information.

By taking the time to engage with our children about online safety, we can create a secure environment for them to explore the digital world responsibly, enjoying its benefits while minimising risks. Thank you for your partnership in keeping our children safe online and supporting a positive school environment.

For additional resources and guidance on online safety, please visit the eSafety Commissioner’s website at esafety.gov.au/parents. This website offers valuable information on helping children stay safe online, with tips on managing screen time, setting boundaries, and using parental controls effectively. It also provides advice specific to various platforms and apps to help parents stay informed and proactive in protecting their children online.
