Chaplain's Corner

Hi Everyone,    

THE MIND BOGGLES!  JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU KNOW ALL SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS OR KNOW ALL ABOUT THE LATEST ONLINE GAMING AVAILABLE, THERE IS ANOTHER ONE OR TWO OR …. THAT YOU HAVEN’T HEARD ABOUT, UNTIL YOU MAY HEAR THEM TALKING TO THEIR FRIENDS! 

 

PHEW!  With the school holidays just around the corner my mind turns to our young people and their use of social media and gaming, both the good and the dangerous. 

This week I’d once again like to highlight the informative and VERY UP TO DATE eSAFETY  website:https://www.esafety.gov.au/  -  which CONSTANTLY UPDATES TO ASSIST PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN/YOUNG PEOPLE EXPLORE ALL ASPECTS OF ONLINE SAFETY, INCLUDING REPORTING ABUSE.  There are also some ‘teaching’ videos for our young ones.

Lots of advice for family discussions. 

 

Below are some of direct links to some of their information, BUT I would like to encourage your WHOLE family to explore the whole website: https://www.esafety.gov.au/

May your families stay safe online!

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!  PLEASE STAY WARM AND SAFE, AND ENJOY SPECIAL TIMES TOGETHER!
