e-Safety

This morning we had the good fortune to listen to Karl Hopwood, an expert on the subject of using the internet safely. We split the school into seniors and juniors and he adapted the talk accordingly. He was quite hard hitting with the senior boys and the message certainly got through. Karl then spoke to a small number of parents who had come to listen. All present agreed that it was an extremely valuable talk and I certainly learned a good deal. 

I think that every school should have a talk of this nature. The internet is everywhere and we cannot hide from it. We need to embrace it and all that it offers but make sure that we give today's children the skills to use it sensibly and safely.
