Social Media and age appropriate viewing habits.

Recently we have seen a growing number of students referring to Netflix, Tik Tok and other platforms in relation to content that is well beyond their capacity for understanding. Children move through developmental stages where their brains become better equipped to interpret themes in the broader world. The Australian rating system is based on these milestones and are a good guide for what your children should be exposed to. We have heard students discussing plot details of shows designed for adults. Some of these themes are particularly violent and simply not fit for our younger students, as it can leave them with disturbing images that they do not have the capacity to process. Your cooperation in ensuring your child is viewing and discussing appropriate content is appreciated.
