Dear Parents

Thank you so much for all the support you are offering your child in undertaking home learning.

I am very impressed and proud of all the work that is being undertaken by the children every day and I know that this will assist them greatly in their transition back to school.

I am in contact with the children on Google Classroom and have allowed the children to communicate and support each other with their work on this forum. I am however monitoring their use to ensure appropriate and friendly discussions are taking place.

I understand that this might not be the only media platform that the children may be communicating with each other and I thought it might be useful to give you the link to the Government advice on the use of social media.

In addition I attach the link the link to the Whatsapp Legal Information.

I would draw your attention to the age requirement for the use of this app and parental responsibility. 

I have recently reminded the children and they have all recently received learning on the use of Social Media and the need to be kind to others. I should be grateful if this could be something that could be reinforced at home.

If any of you would like to discuss this further please let me know by email and I can arrange a time to call you to discuss.

Kind regards

Justina Hudson
