📣 Social Media Platforms 📣
We would like to remind families that, under Australian legislation, many social media platforms are required to prevent children under the age of 16 from holding accounts. These restrictions apply to platforms including Instagram, SnapChat, TikTok, Facebook, X, YouTube and others.
We encourage parents and caregivers to talk with their children about safe and responsible online behaviour and to monitor their use of social media and other online platforms. Supporting children to develop positive digital habits is an important part of keeping them safe online.
For further information, rescources and advice for families, please visit the eSafety Commissioner website:

Thank you for your ongoing support in helping out students stay safe online.
