Wellbeing

This week, we were fortunate enough to have a visit from the Hamilton and Cavendish Police. Thank you to Keleigh and Brent for sharing your time and experience with us- we all learnt so much and had a fantastic time!

The Middle and Upper primary school students participated in an informative session on Cyber Safety, while the Junior students looked at the role of a police officer. 

Key ideas we learnt during the session:

• Be aware of what you share online.
• SnapChat is only allowed for 13-year-olds +
• Before sending a photo ask yourself- why are you sending it and who are you sending it to.
• The average age of a male playing online is 35 years old.
• Always tell a trusted adult if something doesn’t feel right!
• Devices shouldn’t be used in bedrooms. They should be used in shared living areas.
• Only chat or play games with people online who you have met in person. 

Things for families think about:

• Does your child’s username share personal detail e.g. name, age, where you live?
• Who is your child talking to online? What type of language do they use?
• If your child plays video games online, is the setting private?
• Where are devices used in the house? 

Stay safe- stay happy!
