Cybersafety For Kids (and parents)

The College recently had the privilege of hosting Susan McLean, former police officer and cyber safety expert. Susan spoke with staff, parents and all students in year 7, 8 and 9. Susan was very engaging and spoke about the importance of being safe online as well as some on the emerging trends, especially focused on what is happening for young people.  I know there were many parents who were unable to make the parent session so the link below will give you access to 10 video’s which Susan has produced. I would especially draw your attention to the tips for parents video.

We like to think that our children are safe and that we would know if something was not right, but the confronting statistics that Susan presented tells us that sometimes our children are placing themselves at risk online.  Can I implore all parents to take the time to be informed so you don’t end up being one of those parents that says “if only I had have known.”
