Child Safety Advocate

On Wednesday I attended the Child Safety Advocate meeting, held at CE. At the meeting we were given updates in relation to Child Safety legislation. There was also significant discussion about online safety for children. A reminder that there are several resources are available for parents, these are listed on the e-safety commissioner website. Messenger Junior was also discussed as a safer option for online chat between primary school aged children. Possibly the greatest recommendation is to continue to supervise and monitor your child’s online activity and to use recommended age ratings as your guide, what can sometimes appear harmless, can have long term effects.    

Parent Teacher Interviews

On Monday you will receive the schedule for parent teacher meetings. They are being held in Week 9. At these meetings, teachers will outline your child’s report, highlighting areas of growth as well as developing goals for Semester 2 aligned with areas for development. These are very important conversations for both the teacher and the parents, please make them a priority.
