Cyber Safety

Creating a Family Tech Agreement 

St Pat’s partnership with Linewize ensures expert advice is readily available to support every child's digital journey. Children today are growing up in an increasingly online world and it's essential that we are doing all that we can to support and guide their online habits. Our St Pats Online Safety Hub supports the school community by providing practical insights and advice directly from internationally-renowned Online Safety & Digital Wellness Experts from around the world.

Linewize recommends creating a 'Family Tech Agreement' to enable learning opportunities for children and encourage positive online behaviours at home. Please click here for the article taken directly from our Online Safety Hub.
