Beaconhills College will be hosting free two workshops for parents on the topic “Parenting in the Digital World” run by eSmart, the Alannah and Madeline Foundation.
“Supporting parents to play an active role in their child’s digital world. This session includes detailed information on risks and opportunities afforded by technology for young people, with practical tips on how to stay safe.
The workshop presents a selection of advice based on formal research and our extensive work with schools, children and their parents.”
Outcomes:
- You will appreciate the risks and opportunities afforded by technology for young people
- You will explore the latest research in screen/ online behaviours
- You will learn how to emphasise the importance of open communication and connectedness in keeping young people safe, off and online
The two workshops, which are identical, will be held from 7pm to 8pm at each campus:
Oct 8: Pakenham Year 9 Centre (note change of venue)
Oct 9: Berwick Performing Arts Hall.
Parents of Beaconhills College are encouraged to attend whichever session suits best, depending on time and location. There is no charge for these workshops.
Parents are asked to book free tickets through the College Shop, to assist us with numbers.
