Online Safety
At school, we place great importance on kindness, respect, and positive relationships, and we hope to see these values carried over into students’ online interactions as well. We encourage the monitoring of children's social media use and messaging apps and have conversations at home about responsible and respectful online behaviour.
If your child is part of large group chats, it may be helpful to encourage them to leave these groups, as they can often become overwhelming or a place where negative interactions occur.
Thank you for your ongoing support in helping us keep our school community safe, respectful, and kind—both in person and online.
For helpful resources for parents regarding online safety, check out the eSafety commissioner website: https://www.esafety.gov.au/parents and further resources on https://www.thinkuknow.org.au/resources-tab/parents-and-carers.
High School transitions
On Tuesday next week, a large number of our students will be attending the Mango Hill State Secondary College half day transition day. Those not attending will be combined into a smaller number of classes for the first part of the day.
A reminder that if you’re yet to enrol your child into high school for 2026, that now is the time to get onto this. The sooner students are enrolled, the sooner that we can work with our local high schools to support a smooth transition.
