Talk to your kids about this topic.

Last week in Year 5/6, we had Mr Ellis come from the Catholic Education Office. He is the Child Protection Manager and he talked to us about eSafety and how to safe on Social Media. We discussed risk and harm and different levels of these. We also had a serious talk about cyberbullying and why it is important not to share your passwords.

Mr Ellis shared some stories that explained the difficulties and unsafe situations that some students have found themselves in and how they could have avoided these altogether or at least got help much earlier (which would have lessened the harm).

Mr Ellis also shared some Golden Rules we need to keep in mind when online. 

Rule 1: Make sure you can see and touch them if you talk online.       

Rule 2: DO NOT take any photos of yourself nude.

And he shared a special rule for the boys which is:

DON’T take photos of your lower private parts!

It was eye opening and very informative and helpful.
