CyberSafety Education Session
Protecting children in their digital worlds is an ever-evolving task for Australian families. Now more than ever, parents are looking for guidance in managing screen time and navigating the world of games and social media.
We are therefore pleased to help our parent community by offering a crucial and engaging education session with ySafe, Australia’s leading provider of online safety education. This session will be packed with practical, strategy-rich content that covers the most important points all families need to know about online safety. It will include key information about social media and gaming, screen time recommendations, and step-by-step instructions on how to set up a cyber safe home for children of all ages.
If you’ve ever struggled to get your children off their games and into bed, worried about the content of the games they play, or felt concerned that your child was spending too much time in the digital world, this workshop is for you!
This workshop will be held online for families on Wednesday 2nd July at 7pm via zoom using our link: Medowie Christian School Cyber Safety Registration Link.
Wellbeing Wednesday
On Wednesday 2nd July, MCS will participate in Wellbeing Wednesday activities. Throughout the day, our Student Leaders will be organising activities that involve a ‘tech free’ focus with teachers. Lessons without screens will be a focus.
The day will consist of sessions covering Cybersafety in Primary and Secondary classes. This will include topics such as online bullying, using social media safely, playing online games safely, how to spot a stranger online, fake accounts, ‘doxing’, gaslighting and how to avoid online drama.
We look forward to aligning our Wellbeing Wednesday focus with the Cyber Safety Education Sessions for parents noted in the above article.
