Dear Parents/Guardians,
As part of Safer Internet Week 10-14 February 2025 , we are encouraging students, staff, and parents to explore this year’s theme:
“Prepare / Protect / Thrive: Navigating Algorithms and Influencers”
The online world is shaped by algorithms, influencers, and targeted content. While these can be powerful tools, they also come with risks, such as misinformation, online pressure, and data privacy concerns. Throughout the week, students will engage in activities inside and outside of class designed to develop their critical thinking skills and digital awareness.
To support parents in these conversations at home, we have put together a Digital Newsletter with useful resources, tips, and insights on online safety. You can access it here . CLICK ME!
Webwise Parent Webinars
Additionally, Webwise.ie is hosting a series of free webinars for parents, offering expert guidance on keeping young people safe online. We encourage you to register and attend:

By working together, we can equip our young people with the skills to think critically, fact-check sources, and make informed choices in an increasingly digital world.
Best regards,
