CONGRATULATIONS

Dear Parents
Quote for the Week:
We have arranged for Dr Lizzie Harrison (a
colleague of Emma Sadlier) to give a talk to our learners and parents on Social Media.
Dr Harrison has been working with Emma Sadlier for almost two years. She is a qualified medical
doctor, with a BA in Neuroscience, who graduated from Cambridge University in the UK
in 2010 and practiced in England as a doctor for
2 years. Lizzie has written numerous articles on
the topic of children and Social Media, and Emma
and Lizzie are in the process of writing a book
addressing the issues surrounding privacy. Lizzie has been involved with Emma in numerous social
media legal cases and has assisted in the drafting of submissions to effect changes in the
laws surrounding social media in South Africa.
Some of the topics that will be covered are:
Cyberbullying and harassment
Sexting and pornography offences
The disciplinary consequences of abusing
social media at school Personal reputation management
Online safety
Details of the talk are as follows: Date: 6 September 2017
IMPORTANT NOTICE: IF YOU PAY THE R350,00 (INTERSEN PHASE) OR R200,00 (FOUNDATION PHASE) VIA EFT, REFERENCE TO BE USED IS YOUR CHILD’S NAME AND E-LEVY. DO NOT PAY THIS AMOUNT WITH YOUR SCHOOL FEES. IT MUST BE A SEPARATE PAYMENT. IF YOU PUT THE PAYMENT THROUGH WITH SCHOOL FEES IT WILL NOT BE TRANSFERRED TO E-LEVY.
This is far easier said than done. There are multiple levels of personal emotion coupled with
societal norms all engulfed in the ever-conflicting
post-modernist philosophy. The methods of education may still need to change, educational
research must continue to search for new ideas. However, if we begin the transformation by
moving toward a model of mutual respect, we can begin to see change even while searching for
modern techniques.
And finally
