PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Matthew O'Brien, Principal
Dear Parents, Guardians, Staff, Students and the wider St. Joseph’s Primary School Community,
God of the branches, God of the vine, God of the fruit that will last,
when much of the familiar is pruned away -- the work routine, the school run,
the certainty of our day – may we see what is good and true blossom in reassuring ways:
colleagues working as one, children learning together,
May these days of great opportunity bear out what is always true:
that we can reach others with the love you provide
when we remain in you.
Amen.
~ The Corrymeela Community
8th February was Safer Internet Day, 2022
This Safer Internet Day, we are calling on everyone to play it safe and fair online.
This global initiative is designed to bring families, schools, organisations and governments from 170 countries together to raise awareness about online safety.
There is no place for online abuse. We can all help to make life online enjoyable by being kind and respectful to each other.
Many primary school students play online games or use social networking apps. The following link provides parents and users with information about the more popular games and apps. It outlines the basic functions of online games, the recommended age limit (although proof of age is rarely required), safety features and possible risks.
