Screen Time

As we embark on another fun and busy term at St Matthews we want to continue to share some resources that may help families in navigating their way in an increasingly online world. The eSafety Commissioner website has resources and suggestions for parents and carers about a myriad of issues facing young people in the world today.

Here is a link with a short article about how to support children and families with the ever-increasing question of how much screen time is the right amount of time!

Curious Questioning

“Stay curious, listen more than you talk, and take advantage of relaxed moments to have important conversations.”

All parents know that there are times when our children are upset, or something happens in their lives that they need to talk about. Real Schools, a company that we have been working with in partnership, have a very short article for parents about how to approach those moments of distress or revelation with the young people in our care.
