Student Wellbeing

Taming the technology

Over the last 2 years, our students have had to rely on technology for many different things. These have included, schoolwork, entertainment and socialisation.

Whilst, technology has many amazing attributes, it can also be problematic. Since our return to onsite, we have been informed of several cases outside of school hours where children are accessing inappropriate material and displaying unkind behaviours to others.

We encourage you to read the information on the following website and have a discussion with your children about the use of technology and using it safely.
