St Columba would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the parents and carers who joined us for the informative Parent Connect meeting on Wednesday, 22 May. A special thanks to our guest presenter, Senior Constable Steve Jeffery (Police Youth Liason), for sharing valuable insights on navigating social media and the digital world with our children.
The discussions and questions on social media safety and responsible GenAI technology were well received. We all recognise the importance of establishing clear boundaries and equipping our students with the skills to navigate online platforms safely and constructively.
