Term 2, Week 4

Responsible use of technology in young people

As technology continues to be an integral part of our daily lives, teaching our children to use it responsibly is more important than ever. At primary school age, students are beginning to explore the digital world with growing independence, which makes setting clear boundaries at home and school incredibly valuable.

For our younger children, responsible technology use often means creating structured screen time, choosing age-appropriate apps and games and ensuring that devices are used in family spaces where supervision is easy. Establishing these habits early helps children understand that technology is a tool, not a constant distraction.

As our students move closer to high school, their use of technology often grows to include social media, messaging apps and more independent browsing. This is the perfect time to have open conversations about online safety, digital footprints and the importance of respectful online communication. Reminding them that what they post online is permanent and can shape their reputation is crucial as they step into the wider world.

At school, we are committed to teaching responsible digital citizenship, but your support at home is just as important. Together we can guide our children to be smart, respectful and safe digital citizens who understand the power and the responsibility that comes with technology.
