Online Safety

The last couple of years have been challenging in many ways. One particular challenge that we have seen is the increase in the use of online platforms. The Australian Government has a great website that is filled with resources to help parents navigate and support their children in dealing with online safety issues. 

They are also holding monthly webinars which parents can sign up for. These webinars cover a myriad of topics, including cyberbullying, online pornography, and online gaming. Each newsletter we will post a reminder for parents should they wish to attend the webinars. These reminders will also be posted on Compass. 

If you are unable to make it to a webinar, there are some short videos that you can watch which cover the topic of the month.
