Info on the Internet for Parents:
The internet has become an integral part of our lives at both home and at school. While in school, teachers will guide pupils toward appropriate materials on the Internet, outside school, parents or guardians bear the same responsibility for such guidance as they would normally exercise with information sources such as television, telephones, movies, radio and other media.
Appropriate home use of the Internet by children can be educationally beneficial, and can make a useful contribution to home and school work.
While Google is a great search engine it does search the entire Internet and so appropriate use of and search techniques should be taught and supported. For initial, independent research by students we recommended the use of askkids (www.askkids.com), Yahooligans (www.yahooligans.com) or other child-friendly alternatives to the Google search engine (if using Google typing in "for kids" at the end of your search helps to narrow the results). These child friendly search engines provide filtered and monitored access to the Internet for pupils. Our school library also has many options for protected Internet searching.
You may find the following helpful when using the internet at home:
Free advice for parents is available from the following sources:

You may find the following helpful when using the internet at home:
- parents should discuss with their children the rules for using the Internet and decide together when, how long, and what comprises appropriate use;
- parents should get to know the sites their children visit, and talk to them about what they are learning;
- parents should ensure that they give their agreement before their children give out personal identifying information in any electronic communication on the Internet, such as a picture, an address, a phone number, the school name, or financial information such as credit card or bank details. In this way they can protect their children (and themselves)from unwanted or unacceptable overtures from strangers, from unplanned expenditure and from fraud;
- parents should encourage their children not to respond to any unwelcome, unpleasant or abusive messages, and to tell them if they receive any such messages or images. If the message comes from an Internet service connection provided by the school they should immediately inform the school.
