Greetings Karoo-ians,

Term 3 has begun and we are off and running early.  But I want to take this chance just to remind you about a very important event coming up in Week 3 (Wednesday 6th August - 7-8:30pm) : “Raising Kids in a Digital World”, presented by Marty and Carley McGauran from Inform & Empower.

This free evening session is one of the most valuable opportunities we have this year to support families in navigating the ever-changing digital landscape our children are growing up in.

Marty is a primary school teacher and digital safety expert, and Carley is a psychologist and parent of three school-aged children. Together, they’ll explore critical topics such as:

Social media & online gaming

Screen time and its impact

Cyberbullying

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Strengthening family communication

Managing devices at home

Please note: This event is strictly for parents and carers only (trust me the kids will be jealous that you get to meet Marty and he is happy to take photos with you after if you want to show off to your kids BUT no matter what they say, they can't come along to meet him....I will also be in attendance for the night if you want a photo with me...but I don't think that will impress your kids as much).

Register now by scanning the QR code on the flyer or visiting: bit.ly/KarooPS25

This truly in one of the most informative and important sessions you will have as a parent as these topics are only going to become more and more relevant with each passing year.  

Let’s work together to empower our kids to thrive safely and confidently in their digital world. I hope to see many of you there!

Tech-tacularly yours,

Adam Horne
