Internet Safety
Over the last few weeks, students from the Middle and Senior Mag classes have undertaken an internet safety program. It was interesting and rather disturbing to see the number of children that are chatting to people via the internet whom they have never met. Students are at risk unless these online friends are known to family. Anyone can pretend to be someone their not when using social networking sites. A person who says their fifteen could actually be fifty. It is important you know what your children are doing and who they talk to when using the internet. And remember, it is a condition of social networking sites that members are at least thirteen years of age.
On the top right corner of the school blog there is a list of useful links, one of which is to the Federal Governments internet safety site called Cyberquolls. This site uses entertaining activities whilst
providing helpful hints to a variety of situations including, how to use chat rooms safely, what to look for in emails, and what type of photographs to put on the web. I would highly recommend that you spend some time with your child to view these activities.

The Smart Tip Excursion
Last Thursday, three classes and the environmental group participated in an excursion to the tip. Not your usual outing, but one that provided an insight to the problem of disposing of a large quantity of waste.
It was interesting to see how much time is spent in sorting through rubbish in order to reduce the actual quantity of waste that is placed in landfill. The council have recently opened a new cell which usually has a two year life span. With the recycling and reusing program that is now in place the council hopes to extend the workings of the cell to five years.
One more cell is available for use, which leaves the question as to what will happen to Logan City waste in ten years time?
We can all help by composting, recycling and reusing items . At school, worm farms are being utilised and we encourage parents to reduce the packaging on school lunches. Instead of wrapping sandwiches in plastic use small containers which are air tight and can be reused many times over.
Our thanks to Logan City Council for providing the bus and teacher to take us through this facility.
