Digital Safety at St Roch's

In this ever changing digital world, we take digital safety very serious and need to prepare our students, your children for the future.

“The smarter their Digital World becomes, 

the safer we need to make it”. (Linewize 2025)

Inform & Empower Incursions

We’re excited to begin another round of incursions with Marty McGauran and the team at Inform and Empower. This term learning will focus on Being Safe Online. 

Please note the foci for each level below:

Linewize

We know how important your child's online safety is. St Roch's has teamed up with Linewize to offer you parental controls powered by the Qustodio Parent App—the world's leading parental control tool—for free. With Qustodio, you can supervise your child's online activities on their school-managed device outside of school hours. This ensures that you have peace of mind knowing your child is safe and secure in today’s digital world, both in and out of school.

We are dedicated to your child’s online safety, in and out of the classroom. By partnering with Linewize, we’ve taken steps to address the challenges that come with our students engaging in the digital space. We’re excited to offer you tools (powered by Qustodio, the world’s leading provider of parental controls) to help you to take an active role in supporting your child’s digital development.

Linewize already helps us protect your child’s digital experience while they’re at school. Now, with these parental control tools, you can extend that protection to your home—at no cost to your family. These tools are designed to give you greater visibility into your child’s online activity and empower you to set healthy boundaries and routines that fit your family’s needs.

With Qustodio, you will be able to: 

• Ensure your child stays focused on homework by disabling distracting apps and games during study time.
• Give your child the freedom to explore online, safely by blocking inappropriate websites, apps, games and content.
• Help your child get the right amount of sleep by scheduling screen-free time in the evening.

And more! Visit our school’s Online Safety Hub to explore all of Qustodio's features and how these can help you navigate the various digital milestones and online parenting challenges.

We’re thrilled to offer these tools as part of our ongoing commitment to your child’s online safety and wellbeing. Stay tuned for more updates! With the support of a strong parent-school partnership, we can create a safer, more empowering online environment for our students.

We strongly encourage all our families to partner with us in this important school initiative, so that together we can give the children in our care the best chance of thriving in the digital world.
