eLearning

Welcome back everyone to another school year. I am very excited to start my new position as E-learning leader for 2025. I would also like to congratulate Ben, Beau, Liam, Leo and Tommy on being ICT leaders this year and look forward to working with you this year.

Term One

In Term 1, the focus is learning how to use devices appropriately and staying safe on the internet. We will explore the importance of setting boundaries when using technology, ensuring that devices are used for educational and productive purposes. Students will be taught about the potential risks online, such as cyberbullying and privacy risks. We will look at creating strong passwords, avoiding sharing personal information, and recognizing trustworthy websites. We also discuss the importance of balancing screen time with other activities, like outdoor play and social interactions, to maintain a healthy relationship with technology. 

Safer Internet Day

This year Safer Internet Day is Tuesday February 11. It is a global day of action bringing communities, schools, organisations and families from more than 180 countries together to raise awareness of online safety issues and work towards a safer internet. Students will participate in a virtual classroom or complete an activity that teaches them how to stay safe online.

Acceptable User Agreements

We are very fortunate to have access to technology at St. Patrick’s and believe it has educational value to support student learning. We ask all families to read over the user agreements and sign. These User agreements can be found on Operoo shortly.
