ESAFETY ADVICE FOR PARENTS

Esafety has a website dedicated to providing information on how to ensure a safe online environment for children.

https://www.esafety.gov.au/

There is also helpful information to guide parents when issues arise including Reporting Abuse.

Sometimes, when students are involved in online groups they may experience a situation that is not a positive one.

We would encourage anyone in this situation to seek help and this web page is an ideal space for that first line of information.

At Perth Modern we have multiple programs set up to assist students to create positive experiences online, however, should these or the eSafety resources not help your child in their situation, they are more than welcome to seek support from the Student Services team at school PerthModern.StudentServices@education.wa.edu.au

DIGITAL FOOTPRINTS

As part of the curriculum, when using the internet, we encourage students to have a safe, positive experience online and to be aware of their digital footprint that could adversely affect them in the future. Please discuss with your child their online interactions. Include in your conversations school apps like Connect and OneNote, different social media platforms, and email communications.  

Perth Modern School students are achieving and participating in many areas outside of regular schooling, whether it is sport, the arts, music, academics or community service. Has your child achieved an award or accolade outside of school? Are they involved in helping the community? We want to hear all the wonderful stories about our students so we can celebrate them on social media, the school website and in the newsletter. Contact the Communications and Marketing Team with your stories by email at Thalia.Cole@education.wa.edu.au. Photos from the event/awards ceremony are very welcome. 

YEAR 9 STUDENTS: COURSE SELECTION APPOINTMENTS

Appointments will be available on Thursday of Week 8, 16 June 2022 for Year 9 students and their caregivers to help with their subject selections for 2023 and future pathways.

Appointment bookings will be made through the Parent Teacher Online (PTO) portal. A notice with further instructions on how to book will be sent out via Connect.

Students have received information on subject selection during Advocacy. This information will enhance the student’s understanding of WACE and ATAR subject choices and will assist them to reflect on upcoming report and subsequent subject selections.

Please view the 2022 Senior Years Curriculum Handbook which will be available on the school website soon.
