Respectful Relationships and Online Safety Seminar for Year 7 Parents

 

Parents of our Year 7 students were recently invited to participate in a new initiative at Mount Lawley called the Respectful Relationships and Online Safety seminar. Unfortunately, COVID-19 restrictions meant that we couldn't have as many parents as we would have liked. Still, the seminar was completely sold out and was a fantastic platform to enhance the partnership between the school and our parents.

 

Mr Raphael, the Middle School Associate Principal (Acting), presented to parents and outlined some of the issues facing young people from the school's point of view. Subsequently, Candise Adams of Safe Counselling Australia outlined the dangers faced by our young people whilst online. She shared some sage and practical advice with parents on the steps they can take to ensure their child's safety. Mrs Gwen Breadmore, our school psychologist, was also able to provide parents with some fantastic ideas to reduce stress and conflict for our young people in the school environment.

 

We look forward to presenting more evenings like these in the future and look forward to continuing to work with parents to help make Mount Lawley a positive and happy environment for our students.
