Screentime and School Holidays

With the school holidays fast approaching, students may find themselves using screens, devices and tech more so especially with the cold Melbourne weather. Child wellbeing specialist Teodora Pavkovic has written a very useful article on screentime and school holidays. The key thing to remember is there is no 'hard and fast rule', rather you need to do what works for your family.

Click here for the article taken directly from our St Pats Online Safety Hub.

Qustodio

What is Qustodio?

Qustodio is a comprehensive parental control app and digital wellbeing platform designed to help parents monitor, manage, and protect their children's online activities across multiple devices. It enables users to filter content, block apps, set daily screen time limits, track locations, and monitor social media usage on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and Kindle.

It is free for parents of St. Patrick's allowing you to set up one device per student enrolled.

Please see the flyer below to create your free Qustodio account. It was great to see more parents last year taking the opportunity to use this service. For those that haven't you still have access to this resource and feel free to reach out for support if needed or to the Qustodio team (info below).
