Messenger Apps

Group chats are a great way for students to connect with their peers outside of school time.  We know that some popular Apps for group messages include: Messenger for kids, Messages and Snap Chat.  Students are still learning the online etiquette for this digital world, and may need your help.  The E-safety commissioners Website has some great resources that explore safety online.  https://www.esafety.gov.au/kids/i-want-help-with

You might also like to use the parental controls that are already on your devices to support your child, set screen limits, and limit content.

Energy Drinks at School

A Reminder that all energy drinks and soft drinks are not allowed at school.  Students may bring a water bottle to school to re-fuel throughout the day. 

Personal Property at school

A friendly reminder about bringing personal items to school.  If students choose to bring personal property to school (eg: balls, pokemon cards etc), it is their responsibility to look after them during the day.  We recommend keeping them in school bags where appropriate to keep them safe and sound.
