Emilie from Tasmanian Police came to Penguin District School secondary campus on Wednesday 24 July to run the ‘Think U Know’ program for our secondary students. The program delivers information about:

• Cyberbullying
• Sexting
• Grooming
• Gaming
• Use of IT

Each session is 1 hour in length and will be delivered to the Grade 9-12 students in the morning block and the 7-8 students in the middle block on this day.

This program has been run in other schools across the North West Coast and has been positively received as the messages and information are extremely important for the young people of today.

We will also be facilitating a parent session on tonight Thursday 25 July from 6-7pm in the secondary drama room for parents and families who would like to learn a little more about these areas. The information provided should assist families in their awareness of, and ways of dealing with the use of devices and social media outside of school hours. A light supper will be provided.

We would encourage all parents to attend this session.
