10.01.2022 Hi Parents and Caregivers, Just wanted to share a great resource for all things cyber-safety related. Our children are increasingly interacting with online social media and apps, particularly this year with COVID putting the usual weekend and sports ‘catch ups’ on hold. While this is a great way for them to keep connected with friends, it is also important to be aware of the risks. There is an upcoming webinar about a range of apps (Tik Tok, Snapchat, Instagram and Youtube) v...ia the eSafety Commissioner website. This site has a range of resources and tools for parents and caregivers about online safety. See the link below. https://www.esafety.gov.au/
