BYOD Program 

Linsey Paguio

Coding & Robotics Teacher

Kingswood Primary School will be hosting a ThinkUKnow presentation on Thursday November 15th at 6pm and all parents, carers and teachers are encouraged to attend. For those entering the BYOD Program for the first time it is compulsory that one parent attends to meet the registration requirements.

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.

For more information, you can visit www.thinkuknow.org.au or contact Mrs Linsey Paguio, Coding and Robotics Teacher.

We will also be having our B.Y.O.D (Bring Your Own Device) information evening straight after this session. It is very important that all new parents and any existing parents who would like to know more about our B.Y.O.D program at Kingswood attend this session so that parents and students can make informed decisions about using devices at Kingswood Primary School.

Please confirm through Compass that you will be attending so we can make arrangements for enough seating and accessibility for all. We look forward to seeing you all on the night.

*Please note this session is for adults only as we will be covering content that is not appropriate for young ears and eyes.*

**This session is compulsory for all parents of new students to our BYOD program**
