Online Safety

In a world of advancing technology, we strive to provide our children with the opportunities, skills and knowledge to become positive digital contributors. However, it is extremely important that our children are taught how to keep safe and to be aware of the digital dangers. Each month, this web page will provide parents with up-to-date and useful information to reinforce the e-safety procedures practiced in our classrooms.
