Internet Safety Talk - 07 May 2015


Vaiala Beach school staff and students would like to thank Aaron Holloway from the Pacific Transnational Crime Network who spoke to the Years 5 to 8 students about keeping safe on the internet.  The workshops were awesome and Aaron imparted the appropriate rules required when using the internet.

Aaron has great skills and knowledge around social media and online issues as this was part of his work in New Zealand with the New Zealand Police.

At this morning's workshop we discovered that the students in the Year 7 and 8 class use a combined total of 22 different types of social media.  We all know about facebook but are you familiar with Vines, Shazam or Kick?

If you would like to know more, Aaron is conducting an online safety workshop for parents and caregivers tonight at 5.30pm.  Come to Room 8 upstairs and find out how you can help keep your children safe online.
