Strengthening kids’ self-esteem in a digital world

Attend a webinar for parents at no cost

Our school has a membership with Parenting Ideas, one of Australia's most trusted sources of parenting education and support.  Great news - through this membership, you can attend all of their webinars for parents in 2019 at no cost! Here is the information about the next upcoming webinar:

Step back so kids step up

As young people spend increasing amounts of time online, their social lives, and in turn, their social and emotional wellbeing, they become increasingly entrenched in the digital world. As they journey through adolescence in this permanently public landscape, dealing with the effects on self-esteem, friendship issues, self-worth and wellbeing can be challenging to say the least.

Join Martine Oglethorpe, a technology expert who is an accredited speaker with the Office of the eSafety Commissioner, has a background in secondary education and a Masters in Counselling.

This webinar will look at how we can best equip our young people to thrive both online and in real life as they grow up immersed in online spaces.

When

Wednesday 30 October 2019 8:00pm - 9:00pm AEDT.
