Ahead of the introduction of our new mobile phone policy next week, now's a great time to check in with SchoolTV and its informative Cyber Safety Series.

Many of today’s parents grew up in a world devoid of technologies and often have little knowledge on how best to assist and guide their children. 

In today’s digital world, 90% of a child’s socialisation occurs online. As the range of social media platforms grows, so too does the opportunity for bullying and stalking.
