Social  Media 

- Age Restrictions 

Important Information for parents

Age-restricted social media platforms will have to take reasonable steps to prevent people under 16 years of age from creating or keeping an account from 10 December this year. 

The restrictions aim to protect young people from pressures and risks that users can be exposed to on social media.  

You can read more about these world-first social media restrictions on the e safety commissioner website at the website below:

For many students, these changes will affect how they connect, communicate and belong. Through Connect activities in Term 4, information and discussion around these new restrictions will be provided. Parents can also support their children now through conversations about how they are feeling about these new restrictions and talking through the positives of this age delay in accessing social media. 

Small Group Tutoring

Throughout the year, selected students in Years 7, 8 and 9 have been participating in the Small Group Tutoring program. The focus of each 10 week program is skill building in literacy and numeracy.  We have been very fortunate to welcome back former students, who are undertaking university degrees in education, to work with our current students.  This is a fantastic program that aims to strengthen literacy and numeracy skills for all participants!
