Digital Safety - Hints and Tips for our families

There has been a lot of information about digital safety shared over the past few weeks, with a particular focus on social media, abuse online, and cyberbullying. 

For this week's insight into Digital Safety at St Louis, we're sharing a 'how-to' infographic about Snapchat,  a media release titled Parents urged to watch out for signs of cyberbullying from the eSafety Commissioner and an interesting video which has been created in partnership with the AFL targeting the idea of playing it safe online and being an upstander. This is all part of their #PlayItFairOnline campaign together.

1. Parents urged to watch out for signs of cyberbullying Media Release - this article is targetted more towards high school students as it is about social media, but it does provide a good insight into the challenges that come with these apps as well as ways in which parents can seek further advice and support.

We hope you find what we share informative and helpful. Please feel free to send over any other helpful resources or articles you find connected to digital safety to me at twood@stlouisaspendale.com

Year 5 STEM learning this week

Year 5 

In year 5 this week we were excited to begin our partnership with Robogals from Monash University. They are a group of engineers who work with students to promote STEM careers, with a focus on trying to close the gender gap which currently occurs in these professions.

We started with 3D design software and will be working towards learning how a 3D printer works and can print our designs.
