Welcome back to Term Two.
Saltwater Pantry
Saltwater P-9 College has a school pantry that is accessible to everyone, whether you wish to donate non-perishable items or would like to take a few items to assist with providing food for your family. The pantry is located in Mrs O'Connor's office (first office on the right in the main administration building). You can access this at any time and no information needs to be shared. If you wish to donate goods, please place them in bags on the bottom shelf and our helpful student leaders will arrange them within the pantry.
Foodbank Victoria
Our college has teamed up with Foodbank Victoria to help support our school community. As part of this initiative, breakfast and lunch supplies have been made available for students. They have also kindly provided food boxes and items for our pantry. If you would like to enquire about the breakfasts, lunches or food boxes, please email johnpaul.reyes@education.vic.gov.au

Childsafe - Cyber Safety for Kids
In Australia, kids and teens regularly use the internet for learning, entertainment, and socialising. Online technologies are being used by many organisations to communicate with children and young people and provide services to them.
Even though most individuals use modern technology for good, there is still a chance that children and teenagers will come across unsuitable or dangerous content, cyberbullying, or unwanted stranger contact. It is crucial that kids and teens, their guardians, and businesses that work with kids online are prepared to handle these dangers, address them, and shield young people from harm online.
Access guides and resources for parents from the eSafety Commissioner covering big issues including:
Cyberbullying
Online pornography
Sending nudes and sexting
Time online
Online gaming
Unwanted contact and grooming
eSafety Commissioner also provides skills and advice for families and special information for children under 5.
The eSafety Commissioner has a wide range of educational and practical online safety resources for all age groups, including specific material for children and young people. These resources include, but are not limited to, tips to stay safe online, how to respond to cyberbullying, identifying and responding to unwanted contact, and sharing personal information online.
