Screen Time in the Holidays

 

At St Louis, we recognise that holidays can come with challenges, particularly when balancing screen time and online activity. Many of our students use digital devices to maintain connections with their friends and will be active in games such as Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite.

 

In recognition of this and the challenges it presents. we have made a short (9 minutes to be precise) sharing 7 helpful hints around how to support you child or children and their online activity. These are taken from the eSafety Online Commissioner website and provide direction around how best to manage screen time.

 

As always, there is a wealth of resources and ideas shared online bit we thought it would be helpful to narrow the search and share some key information.
