Steptember Gala Day
On Wednesday our students participated in a Gala Day to raise awareness of Cerebral Palsy. The students enjoyed 'stepping' around our playground and participating in various sporting activities. A big thank you to Molly in Year 6 for helping spread awareness for this event at our school.
Being online during the school holidays
The holidays can often mean that children have more time to play on their devices than what they do during the school terms. This may be a good time to reestablish your expectations as parents as to what you deem to be appropriate use of electronic devices.
The https://www.esafety.gov.au/parents has an extensive range of resources to support parents in managing the online access of their children. By visiting the website, you will find information about Time Online, Online Gaming, Unwanted Contact & Grooming.
The https://www.esafety.gov.au/parents/big-issues/time-online support page answers questions like How much time is too much? Signs to watch for and What to do if you are concerned.
A good function within the iPad is screen time. This allows parents to set some restrictions and times for App use and downtime. Parents can view how to do this by clicking on the link
