Nelson College for Girls is hosting an event by' The Parenting Place' supported by ‘Attitude’ & Vodafone for parents and caregivers of students in your school.
The aim of this ‘parenting in cyberspace’ presentation is to help parents/caregivers help their own children to thrive and stay safe in the connected world of the internet.
Surveys show parents and teens both use technology a similar amount, but kids have a very different attitude to it. This lively presentation will help parents/caregivers understand their kids, show parents/caregivers how to use technology positively and some tips on how to be vigilant about the
hazards. 'Connected' helps parents/caregivers launch confident kids into the future, equipped not just with the gadgets but with great software in their heads.
The event is aimed at parents of Year 9 – 13 students across the Nelson area. It is not specifically aimed at students.
Tuesday 28th Feb 7:30pm-9pm in the Nelson College for Girls school Hall, Tea & coffee provided. |
