Purely for Parents: Internet Safety Information Evening
Thursday 9 February 2012, 6.30pm - 7.30pm
As a school we encourage the use of technology as an important part of our pupils'
development but always want them to spend their time online safely.
Parents can play
a significant part in ensuring this yet the percentage of parents of children aged
12 - 15 that feel their children know more about the internet than they do is surprisingly high
- 70% (Ofcom media literacy 2011).
You are warmly invited to an Information Evening at the school, which is aimed at
enabling parents to understand some of the issues and inherent risks associated with
new technologies, along with the opportunity to share ideas about how to reduce these
risks.
In order to help our planning
and provide suitable refreshments it would be helpful if you could email the College Office, colloff@sdmail.org.uk
with the number of people attending along with the
school year(s) of child(ren) by the end of Monday, 6 February.
