Cyber Safety Family Evening

On Monday we had a very successful cyber safety evening with Kate Wilde. Kate is an educator, counsellor and development worker with over twenty years experience working with young people, their families and communities. I last worked with Kate 16 years ago at my previous school with the students on emotional regulation. Monday evening Kate worked on the realities of the digital world that our children live in. As Kate said, we trust our children but not the technology and the 2 billion other people online that our children can come in contact with. Parents reported that there were great ideas and tips on how to regulate and supervise our children in order to keep them safe. The slides from the evening are linked below.
