Online Safety

In today’s digital world, young people are growing up more connected than ever before. While the internet offers incredible opportunities for learning, creativity, and social connection, it also presents risks that can be difficult to navigate without the right knowledge and support. For parents and carers, understanding how to guide children safely through online spaces is essential.  

 A range of free live webinars are available and designed specifically for parents and carers. These sessions provide up-to-date advice and practical tools to help families build safer online experiences. The upcoming webinars cover a variety of important and timely topics: 

• Recognising online coercive control in young people's lives 
• Understanding and using parental controls to help protect your child online 
• eSafety 101: how eSafety can help you 
• Sexual extortion: What parents and carers need to know 
• Exploring the online experiences of boys and young men  

These webinars are designed to give parents and carers the knowledge, skills, and confidence to have informed conversations with young people about their digital lives. They also provide practical strategies that can be put in place immediately to reduce risks and promote positive online behaviour. The information is clear, practical, and easy to apply in everyday family life. Staying informed is one of the most powerful ways to ensure that children and teenagers can enjoy the benefits of the online world while remaining safe, supported, and resilient.

Lunchtime Clubs

We will be starting lunchtime clubs in the first week of March commencing with Crochet and Knitting on Monday lunchtimes and Origami on Tuesday lunchtimes.

We’d love to hear from any keen crocheters and knitters who can help us in these meetings and any ideas from students about what they’d like to do for the lunchtime clubs.

Rhona and Pip can be found in the Staff Room, if you want to drop by for a chat, or to share your ideas.
