Safer Internet Day 2022

Welcome back everyone! I hope all your children had a wonderful and fulfilling start to the term. As we return we bring to the students' attention, Safer Internet Day. Tuesday 8th February marks the 18th Safer Internet Day. With all our experiences in home learning, it has become apparent the blessings and challenges that technology brings us as we have become global digital citizens. Online gaming, social media, video streaming, shopping. The options are endless of what we can do online! This day marks how we educate our children to be safe, kind and responsible digital citizens. Additionally, we aim to educate our students on the actions they can take when they are feeling unsafe, harassed and unsure of the situation. Even though it is a national day, teachers will aim to ensure that students are educated in partnership with parents so they can enjoy, feel safe and become wonderful digital citizens.

For additional information on Safer Internet Day, please refer to the Safer internet Day Website. https://www.saferinternetday.org/in-your-country/australia

Furthermore, your teachers will be discussing with parents during the upcoming information sessions how your students will be engaging with technology during school. 

Healthy Lunchbox Week

The relationship between how we respond to the day’s events and the fuel we give our body is evident. We have all succumbed to the treatable condition we have all come to know as “Hangry” - a delightful portmanteau that combines being hungry and angry. This week marks Healthy Lunchbox Week! A week (and wonderful timing being the start of the term) where we appreciate foods that we can bring to school that benefit our soul, body and mind. We want to inspire all of us to have healthy and creative lunch boxes and snacks!

For further information on Healthy Lunch Box Week please see the official website.

The website includes a  banquet  of resources, recipes, information, webinars and other goodies!

Bon Appetit!
