Our Year 9 students will be sitting their first set of formal exams in Week 9 of this term (17 to 20 September). In preparation for this, we would like to invite our Year 9 parents to join us for an information evening. We will be discussing how to set your child up for success in their Year 9 exams.

Although this presentation is designed for parents, students are welcome to attend as they will also find the night beneficial.

Guest speaker Christine West, author of ‘Think Savvy, Revise Smart’, has extensive experience in studying and learning environments. Christine will present science-based revision strategies for parents and students.

Copies of Christine’s book will be available for purchase on the night.

We invite parents, carers and teachers in our College and surrounding community to join us for a ThinkUKnow Cyber Safety presentation on 15 August at 6pm.

ThinkUKnow Australia is a cyber safety education program that educates parents, carers and teachers of how people are using technology, the challenges they may face online, and how to help them overcome these in a safe and ethical way.

ThinkUKnow Australia is a partnership between the Australian Federal Police, Microsoft Australia, Datacom and the Commonwealth Bank. The program is delivered in collaboration with policing partners New South Wales Police Force, Northern Territory Police, Queensland Police, South Australia Police, Tasmania Police, Western Australia Police, as well as Neighbourhood Watch Australasia.

The presentation will be delivered by a local law enforcement member and an industry volunteer. The presentation covers issues relating to children and young peoples’ privacy and security online, their relationships with other users and their online reputation. It provides insight into the devices young people are using, as well as the popular websites, apps and social networking sites they’re accessing.

This is a fantastic opportunity for you to learn more about young people and the online environment, and how you can help them to be safe and responsible users of technology.

This event is open to everyone in our community.

We hope to see you there!
