Supporting Our Children with Responsible Use of Social Media
This article was published in issue 16 of the newsletter, however, in case you missed it, we have included it in this edition.
Given the high volume of students who utilise the plethora of social media platforms, it is timely to remind parents that if their child is experiencing any issues via these platforms, parents and students are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the following websites:
https://www.thinkuknow.org.au/
These sites contain a range of resources for both parents and students, along with security and reporting information.
Given the 24/7 access students have to social media platforms, as educators and parents, we need to make every effort to ensure our children are using these platforms in a responsible and respectful manner.
Please report any concerns regarding inappropriate social media usage to the college so that we can work with families in this space as appropriate.
