As some of you will be aware, Queenswood, with Stormont and Lochinver, hosted a virtual parents' event this week, with Karl Hopwood addressing internet safety.

We have a recording of the event and this will be available online until Tuesday 15 June. Karl doesn't normally permit recordings of his presentations to be made public but, in view of the technical difficulties experienced on Tuesday, he has kindly agreed that this presentation will be available to all Queenswood parents for one week only.

We had invited Year 7, 8 and 9 parents, as he aimed his talk at parents of younger pupils. However, having attended the event, we think this may be helpful for all of our parents.

Karl was in school on Wednesday speaking to each year group, and we hope that this will help to make all the pupils aware of dangers to avoid on the internet and also how to have a healthy online presence. There have been two items in the press this week about people being adversely affected and losing jobs because of social media posts from years ago, when they were teenagers. We very much hope that this will not be a situation that any of our pupils are ever in; education about internet safety is so key. Please do feel free to discuss this at home and ask them about anything they learned this week.
