E SAFETY INFORMATION EVENING AND ACTIVITIES

Dear Parents and Carers,

February 10th 2015 was Safer Internet Day, a day that is very important to our school and pupils. Safer Internet Day is run by the INSAFE network and is celebrated every year across Europe, and in other countries worldwide.

In the UK, Safer Internet Day is organised by the UK Safer Internet Centre (www.saferinternet.org.uk), and this year’s theme is “Let’s create a better internet together.”

Our Safer Internet day was a great success at Penygawsi.

To celebrate the many positives of the internet, and to raise awareness of the issues that children and young people face online today, we will be hosting an online safety information and activities evening for parents and carers of children in every year group. We highly recommend that you attend this event. The session will provide practical advice and safety tips to help manage online safety issues, and discussions surrounding suitable behaviour online.

PLEASE BRING YOUR CHILD/CHILDREN ALONG. 
As well as providing information and advice the aim of the evening is to offer you an opportunity  to participate in e safety workshops/activities with your child/children and teachers.

The session will be on TUESDAY MAY 12th 2015 at 6pm in school. 

We believe that internet safety education is a crucial element of the curriculum and an essential part of young people’s development. This session is designed to help you become more aware of the safety messages that your children receive in school in order to reinforce them in your home environment.

We hope to have your support.
Mrs James
