Other sessions focused on the risks associated with engaging in social media, cyber bullying and digital footprints. A strong focus for Stage 3 was of the importance of stopping to think about the impact on others and yourself before posting anything online and the need to be a positive upstander when you see things online that don\u2019t feel quite right. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These experiences concluded with a K-6 parent information session where Helen Dempsey (Head of Primary), Amelia McAllan (Head of PDHPE K-12), Lauren Miles (Primary School Counsellor) and Sarah Johnstone (Deputy Head of Primary, Student Wellbeing) spoke on the topic \u2018Raising Your Child in the Digital World\u2019. We thank the parents who attended this session for their interested and curious approach. It\u2019s certainly an area that leads to robust dialogue and needs constant attention and further discussion.
