Year 11
It was fantastic to see our Yr 11 students back on campus last Monday. I know that I speak for all teachers when I say that we are thoroughly looking forward to seeing them more regularly in the coming weeks. Many thanks to those students who supported the virtual Mother’s Day Classic. Thank you too, to those students and families who supported the Taldumande Service initiative.

Cyber Awareness
Below are some takeaways for students from Brett Lee’s Understanding and Managing an Online World webinar which was held on Monday evening. Whilst they may be more appropriate for our younger students, a reminder never hurts.
The internet is public and permanent.
I need to protect my personal details online.
People I only know on the Internet are strangers.
We all have rules on the internet and computers.
I can talk to a trusted person if I have an online problem.
