Online gaming safety continues to be under the spotlight! Our latest report from the esafety commissioner reveals how major online gaming platforms, including Roblox, Fortnite, Minecraft and Steam, are (or are not) keeping kids safe online. While most services use tools to proactively detect unlawful and harmful material, the quality and coverage of these tools differed significantly across platforms. With around 9 in 10 Australian children aged 8 to 17 playing online games, the findings highlight the need for stronger, more consistent safeguards to help protect young people from risks such as grooming, harmful content and other serious online harms. Looking for ways to support safer online gaming. Check out this practical resource for families https://www.esafety.gov.au/parents/issues-and-advice/gaming?utm_campaign=2611_edu_news_october_reengagement&utm_id=c33ee8f22376e17ca6503903521da365&utm_medium=email&utm_source=eSafety_edm

Socktober is Here! This term, our school community is taking action to support Socktober, an initiative dedicated to raising awareness and funds for vulnerable communities in Malawi and around the world. Our involvement in Socktober is directly grounded in our Catholic Social Teaching focus for this term: Preferential Option for the Poor. This principle calls on us to place the needs, rights, and well-being of the most vulnerable and marginalised members of society at the center of our actions and choices. By participating, our students learn how small acts of solidarity can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Event Details: When: Friday of Week 4 (Friday, 6th November) What to Wear: Students are invited to wear their sports uniform paired with their most colourful, fun, or crazy socks! -Please donโt go out and purchase any fancy or expensive socks. Odd socks or child decorated socks are just fine! Donations: An optional donation is much appreciated to support Catholic Mission's work. You can make an online contribution directly on the Socktober Donation Page. https://www.socktober.org.au/support Thank you for supporting our students as we put our faith into action!
