The world our students live in has certainly changed immensely with the use of digital technologies.

This adds new challenges in the guidance adults need to provide for our young people.

We have a parent education evening around this topic planned for near the end of next term on Tuesday 17th September. It will be run in conjunction with our BYOD information night. There will be an introduction to BYOD at Sherwood, followed by a presentation by Netsafe.

However, if parents are really struggling with this area and feel they need help sooner, you may be interested in this event being held next week by The Parenting Place:

Behind the Screens: Screen time, social media, and the self-esteem challenges that go along with that, can make parenting tricky. Nathaniel Kandregula will help you to navigate the ups and downs of supporting your young person in the digital world. This presentation will cover social media, gaming, online safety, and supporting a healthy sense of self amidst it all.
