Workshop for Students: Navigating Safely Through the Social Media Maze

for Students in Years 5, 6 and 7

In the last years the influence of social media on young people's lives has been tremendous.  Research keeps indicating that the impact it has on their wellbeing can be extremely detrimental. Higher rates of depression and anxiety as well as eating disorders (in both girls and boys) have been reported in many studies, leading to a push globally to change legislation and make social media legislation stricter. 

As parents and educators this is a new playing field for us. We are called to enter it cautiously, monitor constantly and work in partnership with our children to guide them through the potential pitfalls, without compromising their independence or trust. We hope these workshops and the corresponding parent presentation on February 10th will provide valuable insights as well as practical tips. 

Each workshop session will be limited to 20 students.
