E-Safety
A vast majority of students have mobile phones with cameras, internet access and social networking accounts. This can be a recipe for disaster if not used appropriately, both inside and outside school. It is important that you discuss with your child appropriate use of phones, cameras and social networking sites to avoid incidents of bullying and inappropriate behaviour.
