Cyber Safety Student Workshop

This week at St John's our students will be participating in Cyber Safety  workshops led by Martin McGauran. We are very excited to have Martin at our school talking to our students about the importance of being safe online. The sessions will be arranged in year levels so that Martin can talk to the students about the most important issues for their age and level of development. We encourage you to discuss the workshop with your child/children after they have participated.  

Cyber Safety Parent Webinar

Our school is very fortunate to have access to a new webinar "Raising Kid's in the Digital World 2021", presented by Martin and Carly McGauran and we encourage all parents to take the time to view the 90 minute video when they can. (Refer to the flyer below.) Last year in Term 2, Martin led our school in a parent cyber safety webinar which was insightful and beneficial to all those parents who participated. 

This is not suitable to view with your children.

Martin is a primary school teacher and education consultant that has worked in the area of cyber safety, with a number of schools. He will provide parents with insight into apps, social media and games to help families learn and understand the risks involved when you interact online and ways to minimise these risks. 

Carley is a psychologist, mum and cyber safety educator who has worked with children, young people and adults for the past 15 years. Her experience will help provide parents with evidence based practical tips and strategies that can be implemented at home to help children stay safe online.

The webinar aims to provide parents with information and tips to develop healthy, collaborative relationships with their children in regards to online safety. 

This webinar is suitable for parents and adults only.
