A message from Mrs Whitechurch
We understand that helping children to achieve a balance between online and offline activities is a continuing challenge.
There are a number of resources and supports for parents and educators to help children safely navigate their digital world and educate them to avoid harmful online experiences.
The eSafety Commissioner (eSafety) is Australia's independent regulator for online safety. They provide webinars, videos, advice sheets for parents and carers to support children to remain safe online. Please find the link below to learn more.
