Digital Technology
Parent Information Night
Dear families,
As part of our commitment to eSafety we will be hosting a ‘ThinkUKnow’ presentation on Tuesday 28th August at 6:30pm and all parents and carers are encouraged to attend. It will be held in the performing arts area.
ThinkUKnow Australia is a cyber safety education program that educates parents, carers and teachers of how people are using technology, the challenges they may face online, and how to help them overcome these in a safe and ethical way.
ThinkUKnow Australia is a partnership between the Australian Federal Police, Microsoft Australia, Datacom and the Commonwealth Bank. The program is delivered in collaboration with policing partners New South Wales Police Force, Northern Territory Police, Queensland Police, South Australia Police, Tasmania Police, Western Australia Police, as well as Neighbourhood Watch Australasia.
The presentation will be delivered by a local law enforcement member and an industry volunteer. The presentation covers issues relating to children and young peoples’ privacy and security online, their relationships with other users and their online reputation. It provides insight into the devices young people are using, as well as the popular websites, apps and social networking sites they’re accessing.
This is a fantastic opportunity for you to learn more about young people and the online environment, and how you can help them to be safe and responsible users of technology. Please note that the presentation is for parents, carers and teachers and is not suitable for children due to the nature of the topics discussed.
Information will be sent home soon and for any more information, you can visit www.thinkuknow.org.au or contact Mr. Hoare.
Kind regards,
Nick Hoare
