eSmart Week

Hi St John's Families

This week sees the beginning of eSmart Week. The Alannah and Madeline Foundation have amazing resources for schools and families to deliver up-to-date knowledge and skills to help students learn to stay safe and be responsible online. Below is the link for two parent webinars. 

Family Storytime: Paws - Digital Child

This storytime adventure is perfect for ages 4-9 (Prep - Y4) and this session is a fun and engaging way to spark imagination and encourage healthy digital habits. Parents and carers resources will be sent 72 hours prior to the event to help families extend the learning beyond the story.

Date: Tuesday 31st March

Time: 7:00pm (30min duration)

Parents: Be Connected to the Digital Safety Conversation

Connect and learn with parents, carers and industry as we explore children and young people's digital rights, wellbeing and privacy in an ever changing online world. Discover emerging perspectives, share your own, and help shape a digital world where our children and young people are safe, strong and heard.

Date: Wednesday 1st April

Time: 6:00pm (30min duration)

Please register to secure your spot!

HOLIDAY FUN!

To celebrate Code Club Australia's 10th birthday, students are invited to have a go at creating a fun Party Pinata project using Scratch. The aim of the project is create a pinata that will swing and release treats when it is hit, eventually showing a happy birthday message. This is suitable for grades 3-6, but if you are younger and feeling confident with Scratch, have a go! Find the link here.

Have a great Easter break and keep coding!
