ySafe Parent & Carer Education invitation

You are Invited – Parent Education: Empowering Parents & Carers in the Digital Age

The Joan Freeman Carpark will open from 5.30pm

Protecting children in their digital worlds is an ever-evolving task. Now more than ever, parents and carers seek guidance in managing screen time and navigating the world of games and social media.

We are excited to support our parent community by hosting an important education session with ySafe, an Australian provider of online safety education for all families.

Here’s what you can expect from this session:

• Practical tips for online safety.
• Information on social media and gaming.
• Recommendations for screen time.
• Step-by-step guide for creating a cyber-safe home for children of all ages.

The session is suitable for all families navigating the challenges of the digital world. While the session aligns with the student sessions for Year 7 and Year 9 which will be delivered on the same day, the content is still very relevant for students in other year groups.

If you are uncertain about your child’s use of social media, you worry about the online games they play, and are concerned that your child is spending excessive time online, this workshop will help.

Please indicate your attendance by completing this form: ySafe Parent Education Session 7 August.

About ySafe

ySafe is an organisation of child psychologists, ex-police officers and teachers who specialise in cyber safety education. The goal of parent education is to share insight into the challenges and opportunities that participating in a digital environment presents to students, parents, and schools. The parent education session is designed to address the complexities of parenting in the digital age. This session will provide parents with the knowledge and tools to walk alongside children when navigating safety online. Building capacity and fostering a positive digital environment can help to empower us all to feel less overwhelmed by the challenges of the online world in which our young people find themselves immersed.
