Here is a great resource to share with your parent community. I also think the video can be used as a hook in your classrooms. The Algorithym Disrespect, is an interactive educational tool, simulating the average young person's online experience. It is designed to reveal and educate adults on the new, hidden forms of disrespect. It includes parent guides and conversation starters, to help your parents tackle the issue in their own homes. https://www.respect.gov.au/algorithm-of-disrespect

Did anyone else get a lovely Valentines Day gift from their students? 😍

This is a student-led initiative, with unique letters written to each domain and department at our school. Students also received individual letters on their lockers too. It's small acts like this that build school culture!

A colleague shared this with me, and was a great hook to use in our year 9 Mental Health lesson, to discuss validation, empathetic listening versus listening to identify problems and problem solve.
