Dear Parents,

A child was nearly knocked down in the school car park today. The child left the footpath and cycled his tricycle on the road in the school car park..  A car reversed and almost knocked him down. Please talk to your child.The children and adults should walk on the footpaths only.

The internet is becoming a bigger part of our children’s lives; it is important that we get involved with what they are doing online. This means not just talking to our children about what they do online but also listening. It is important that we talk openly and regularly about our concerns and agree boundaries around internet use in our homes. While the internet undoubtedly presents fantastic opportunities for children, it is equally clear that there are valid concerns about children spending too much time online, accessing inappropriate content, and communicating with people with intent to harm or exploit them. As parents anatural desire is to keep the children safe. The best online safety strategy, regardless of age, is to talk with your child and to engage with them about what they are doing and who they are doing it with.

Please see link below to further advice on how to keep our children safe.
