Cyber Safety and Digital Wellness Information for Parents

Cyber Safety Talk

Dear WCSS Community,

Our next Parent Information Session is scheduled for Thursday May 18 at 6.30pm. Kayelene Kerr from eSafe Kids will be presenting for parents of children up to age 12 years. This talk is recommended for ALL parents; parents of younger children will be well prepared and those with children already in upper primary will be presented with vital knowledge to inform their digital parenting choices.

 As you are likely aware Steiner schools strive to bring natural, healthy experiences to children and believe in the importance of meaningful connection with others and the world around them. We advocate no technology under the age of nine years with informed, mindful, age appropriate exposure as children progress in age. 

However, we recognise the media-infused society we live in and the necessity of parents having access to helpful, pragmatic and expert advice regarding cyber safety. The importance of parental awareness of cyber safety issues and digtal wellness cannot be underestimated.

Family Commitment Hours are claimable for this event and RSVP is requested.

We strongly encourage all WCSS parents/caregivers to attend this talk.
