Dear Parents,
Internet Safety & Cyberbullying Presentation for Parents- 27th May -7pm
As part of our SPHE programme, we have arranged for a speaker to address Parents on 27th May at 7pm in relation to Internet Safety & Cyberbullying. The same speaker will address (via Zoom) the children in 5th & 6th class on this day.
Fergal Flanagan is a Masters Psychology graduate from University of Limerick and has worked nationwide delivering presentations to pupils and supporting teachers and parents in this area.
This presentation will discuss the area of cyber-bullying and Internet safety and what parents can do for its intervention and prevention.
Obsession with computer games, engaging with inappropriate content online, addiction to mobile phones, time online, respectful communication, privacy settings and parental controls are some of the topics discussed.
The presentation will be delivered by Zoom and the log in details will be sent via text message and email later in the week.
