Principal’s Message Kia ora e te Whānau Welcome back to Term 2. It’s fantas:c to have life back in the place with the children buzzing around. Term 2 will bring the cooler weather and hopefully the much needed rain. The new build is progressing well. We hope to have the roof on in a few weeks! John Parsons, the Internet Safety and Risk Assessment Consultant, visited the school on Tuesday. His philosophy within educa:on is to help students learn to make informed, ethical decisions founded on common decency and reasonable standards of right and wrong. He delivered some important informa:on for our children, teachers and parents. A key message is that we need to raise our children to nurture and protect their iden6ty. John taught the children that there are three key people in their ‘safety circle’ who can help them - parents, friends and themselves. People’s online presence now forms part of their CV. This can be obtained by a poten:al employer by using a simple Google search. John raised some valuable ques:ons: Are your children modelling your family values online? Is there a ‘digital separa:on’ between you and your child? What rules, rou:nes and modelling is in place in your home? Prac:cal steps can be easily taken by parents to protect your children from digital dangers. A useful tool to evidence online issues is a ‘screenshot’ (a photo of what is on the screen). On a Mac Laptop - Hold Command+ShiX+Control and 3. On an iPad/iPod/iPhone - press the 2 bu[ons at the same :me. On a PC - Press the Windows logo key +PrtScn. Or, if you're using a tablet, press the Windows logo bu[on + the volume down bu[on. It was pleasing to see that so many children completed Mr Molloy’s homework! If you are unsure of what this is, then ask the children. Enjoy the term ahead. Ka kite anō Mike Molloy Principal Welcome A warm Broadfield welcome to: *Joshua and his parents Paula and Bradley. *William and Antonie Van Noorden and their parents Michelle and Pierre.
