Cyber Topic of the Week: Good Habits Start Young

Parents and carers play an important role in helping children to develop digital intelligence — the social, emotional and practical skills needed to successfully navigate the digital world.

Even for preschool children, it is never too early to instill good habits, and as your child gets older it is useful to keep reminding them of these basic digital intelligence principles: respect, empathy, critical thinking, responsible behaviour and resilience. 

These are also principles you can emphasise with your child when things go wrong.

Netbooks - Grades 3 to 6

All netbooks and chargers will be collected at the end of Term 4 so they can be boxed and shipped back to the leasing company in Melbourne. Missing or damaged netbooks and chargers will be charged to the family. 

We have secured a new suite of netbooks on a lease for 2023/24. These will be issued at the beginning of next year. Please refer to the Administration page of the newsletter for information about how to make the parent contribution for netbooks in 2023. 

Ecolink Excursions with our Awesome Preps!  

The Preps let me tag along on their excursion last Thursday to Ecolink in Bacchus Marsh. We had some great experiences learning about recycling, worm farms, pollution and looking after our environment. I was very proud of how well our Prep students listened and took part in the activities. They are definitely nearly ready for Grade 1!
