Safer Internet Day - Tuesday 7 February

Safer Internet Day is a global event that brings together communities, families, schools and organisations from more than 200 countries to help create safer online spaces. This worldwide initiative is celebrating 20 years in 2023, making it a great time to reflect as well as look forward. Technology has evolved dramatically in the past two decades and the benefits have been huge. These developments have also exposed us to many risks with real-world impacts, making online safety awareness even more important.

On Tuesday this week, during Pastoral Care Class, we called on all Mount Carmel students to Connect. Reflect. Protect.

Connect safely and with purpose – by keeping apps and devices secure and using social media in positive ways. Reflect before we act – by taking a moment to consider how what we do and say online may affect others. Protect ourselves and others by taking action – by telling family and friends about eSafety and how we can help. 

Your child’s Pastoral Advisors encouraged all students to do these simple things so that each day our community can work towards making every day a Safer Internet Day.

Late Arrivals or Early Departures

An addition to the diary information that was in last week's newsletter. For student late arrival or early departures from school the diary can be used by parents to convey important information/reasons, in addition to sending an email or telephoning the College office.
