MONITORING USE OF DEVICES WITH FAMILY ZONE
We have noticed that some students, particularly, during the lockdown period have managed to visit and got acquainted with a number of undesirable social media sites. Hence, we want to alert you all to be vigilant at home by ensuring your child(ren) do not use devices behind closed doors. For safety of all, we strongly recommend that you keep a time limit for the use of devices and keep them locked away during night.
Therefore, as part of our ongoing commitment to excellence and our duty to ensure students’ safety and well-being, we’re proud to announce that we will soon be introducing cyber safety programs and technologies in partnership with Family Zone.
Family Zone is New Zealand’s leading provider of cyber safety technology. Family Zone helps us to ensure our students are safe and on task during school time and offers parents a range of options for monitoring and supporting their children’s online journey.
You’ll receive more information on our programs in the coming weeks. In the meantime, to learn more about Family Zone, please visit their
