Workshops and Seminars

Building a community-based approach to digital citizenship and wellbeing is a gradual process. Collaboration between all aspects of our community is vital in recognising the challenges we are all facing with technology at home and in our community.

​

In order to create arenas in which to grow our collective knowledge and discuss some these challenges, the school will be holding regular workshops and seminars throughout the year. Please see below for a list of topics and dates.
