PARENTING IN AN ONLINE WORLD 101 – AN UNMISSABLE PARENT EVENING!
Mon Aug 24 03:54pmKia ora, e te whānau!
We all want our school and community to be a safe place for our tamariki. But in a rapidly changing digital world, the risks our children face online are growing faster, more frequently, and more seriously than ever before.
That’s why we are bringing filmmaker, author, and speaker Rob Cope—producer of the powerful documentary Our Kids Online—to Rotorua for a fast-paced, humorous, and eye-opening presentation you cannot afford to miss!

Cyberbullying & Social Media: How bullies reach kids 24/7, plus the impact on mental health (FOMO, depression, and anxiety affecting 3 out of 5 kids).

Online Predators & AI Risks: Spotting predator tactics, alongside emerging AI threats like companion bots, deepfakes, voice cloning, and radicalisation.

The 3 Golden Rules: Simple, effective guidelines to protect your kids online.
Boundaries & Difficult Conversations: How to talk to your kids and reconnect as a family by challenging our own phone habits.
“We have now reached the point where it is irresponsible of us as parents, teachers, health professionals, and policymakers to continue to put these devices… in our kids’ hands and then expect them to be accountable for their own wellbeing.”
— Dr. Samantha Marsh, University of Auckland Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences
