Online Safety

 

We love the internet and recognise that it will be a major influence in the lives of our children. Like many other tools, we know that the internet is both extremely useful and potentially dangerous. Therefore, while we understand it is important to make online devices safe for children, we believe that education is the only, truly effective way to keep children safe in the medium and long term. We teach the children to, ‘Zip it, Block it, Flag it’ when they are online.
