SOCIAL MEDIA BAN 

📱👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Tips, Tools, and Talk for Families

Australia’s social media ban began last week, marking a global precedent, and it is fair to say that opinions were mixed. Regardless of your perspective, this change is likely to be challenging for many of our students.

To support families, we have compiled a number of resources and commentary that you may find useful over the break.

In particular, the eSafety Commission website is informative and offers practical suggestions for how parents can talk to their children about the ban.

We encourage all families to explore these resources to help navigate this new landscape safely and constructively.
