Harmony Week

Tomorrow (Friday 20 March) is our Harmony Day Assembly and Cultural Dress Day.

Students are encouraged to celebrate by wearing clothes which represent their cultural heritage. They may also choose to wear the colour orange, which traditionally signifies social communication and encouragement of mutual respect.

Following our Harmony Day Assembly – parents/carers are invited to our first Como Connections event of 2025. Join us to meet families, share experiences and build friendships within our school community. Thank you to those who have already registered to attend, you can RSVP here - https://forms.office.com/r/jv5Gvg25HJ

eSafety

As a school community, we are committed to fostering a safe and respectful online environment for all students, both at school and beyond.

To support families in navigating online safety, we encourage our community to visit the eSafety Commissioner’s website – www.esafety.gov.au – which provides valuable resources, guidance, and practical advice on how to help children engage positively and responsibly online.

While our school will continue to educate students on appropriate and acceptable online engagement as part of the learning programs, parents/carers can reinforce responsible digital behaviour and safety at home by:

• Monitoring your child’s online activity and encouraging open conversations about their experiences.
• Setting clear guidelines around appropriate online conduct.
• Educating your child on respectful communication and the impact of their online interactions.
• Reporting any concerns about online behaviour to the relevant platforms or authorities – such as the eSafety Commissioner (esafety.gov.au/report)

Families may also be interested in a free parent information session being presented by Communicare, Meerilinga, Midvale Hub Parenting Service and Parenting Connection WA – The Tech Diet for Parents. This session is designed to provide practical solutions for managing screen time and understanding tech addiction.

This session is on Wednesday 9 April, 6.00-7.30pm at Aquinas College. This event is open to all parents across WA, so bookings are essential and spaces limited – parents can reserve their spot using this link - https://bit.ly/pcwatechdiet. More information on the session is below:
