At Woodend Primary School, we are committed to supporting our families in navigating the ever-evolving digital landscape. Last week, we were thrilled to host the Growing Up Online parent workshop, presented by renowned cyber safety expert Susan McLean.

With over 60 parents and teachers in attendance, the event was a resounding success. Susan delivered an engaging and highly informative presentation that was not only up-to-date and relevant but also deeply insightful. Her expertise and practical advice empowered our community with the knowledge and tools needed to support children in staying safe and responsible online.

From understanding the latest social media trends to addressing online bullying, Susan covered a wide range of topics that resonated with everyone in the room. The feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing gratitude for the clarity and confidence they gained from the session.

We are incredibly proud of the strong turnout and the proactive spirit of our community. It’s clear that together, we are committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for our students, both offline and online.

We would like to thank the Parent Network for their generous support in funding this valuable presentation through the Parent Initiatives in Education grant. Their commitment to enhancing parent engagement and education plays a vital role in strengthening our school community.

Let’s continue to learn, grow, and support one another as we raise digitally responsible and resilient young people.
