eSafety

As part of their learning and development, you child will have the opportunity to access a wide range of digital technology including, computers, iPads and cameras.

At Tenterfield we recognise the value of using this technology and also the potential risks involved. We therefore have rigorous online safety policies and procedures in place. Please see our eSafety policy which is in the policies section for further information.

Even our youngest children are accessing the internet and therefore all parents and carers need to find ways to keep their child safe online.

  • Make sure parental controls are set on your home broadband
  • Make sure you know what sites they are visiting and have passwords
  • Help your child learn through appropriate games
  • Have your devices in communal areas so you are always aware of what they are watching or playing
  • Set time limit boundaries
