KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE
Online Safety
Our Year 3 – 6 students recently listened to a Cyber Safety talk delivered by Queensland Police Service as a partner to the ThinkUKnow Program. Students learnt about the impact of long hours of gaming on the brain and some of the risks of chatting online.
An interesting fact from the presentation:-
34 Years is the average age of video game players. 77% of players are aged 18 years or older. 43% of those aged 65 and over play video games
As the holidays approach and some students may want to spend more time on electronic devices it is important for parents to be more aware of their child’s online activity. These are some important tips from the ThinkUKnow website.
I urge every parent to take a few minutes to read the information ‘Gaming, devices and what you need to know’. There is more great information available on the website https://www.thinkuknow.org.au/resources-tab/parents-and-carers.
