Our Kids Online

I highly recommend this event for our Devon Intermediate school community. I’ll be attending myself.

Rob Cope is a brilliant speaker. He is engaging, thought-provoking and at times quite confronting. He talks honestly about the challenges our young people face with phones, social media and the online world.

As a school, we deal with so many issues that come from online usage, so I think this is a really worthwhile event for parents and whānau. It’s a great opportunity to hear some practical advice and have some important conversations about supporting our kids in the online world.

Tickets are only $10, which I think is a bargain. Tickets are available using the link below. If you would like to attend but the $10 ticket is a barrier, we do have access to a limited number of free tickets for our school community. Send me an email at principal@devonint.school.nz, and I’ll send you a code, provided we still have tickets available.

I really encourage you to get along to this one. It’s a conversation that is increasingly important for all of us supporting young people.
