We are seeing an increasing amount of issues coming to school from the inappropriate use of ICT at home.  This seems to be centered around Roblox and children’s messenger.

As we guide our children to grow in wisdom and faith, it’s also important to help them stay safe online. Please take time this week to:

• Remind your child never to share personal information (name, address, school, passwords) online.
• Encourage open conversations about what they see and do on devices.
• Set healthy screen time limits and ensure devices are used in shared family spaces.
• Remind children to treat others with kindness online, just as they would face-to-face.

Did you know that most social media platforms—including Instagram, TikTok, Roblox, Snapchat and Facebook—have a minimum age requirement of 13 years old? This rule is in place to help protect children from risks such as:

• Inappropriate or harmful content
• Online bullying or peer pressure
• Sharing personal information too early
• Contact with strangers

We encourage families to be aware of these age limits and to talk with their children about safe and positive ways to use technology. Children under 13 are best supported by using age-appropriate apps, educational tools, and supervised communication platforms. Together, as family and school, we can nurture safe and respectful digital citizens.
