John will be working with all our students during the day on how to keep themselves safe on the internet and then he will also be working with parents, caregivers and interested community members at 7:00pm in the school hall.

He will cover the influence and dangers of TikTok and other social media, sexting, cyber security and protecting your child's digital footprint amongst other things.

YOU ARE INVITED TO BRING YOUR FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES TO THIS IMPORTANT SESSION SO YOU CAN ALL BE BETTER EQUIPPED TO KEEP YOUR CHILD SAFE ON THE INTERNET. THIS EVENING SESSION IS NOT FOR CHILDREN AS JOHN WILL BE VERY SPECIFIC AND PARENT FOCUSED.

Past parents have said: “wow John has opened my eyes and I was totally unaware of what goes on in cyberspace that could endanger my child.”

This is an open invitation to all adults who care for young people and we look forward to seeing you all on the night.
