South Coast Baptist College is proud to partner with Family Zone to bring a world-class cyber safety platform to our school community.
Access to technology is essential if our children are to take full advantage of the benefits offered by new forms of digital learning. Providing access to this technology also affords us the opportunity to set expectations with students around appropriate use of the internet and devices like mobile phones and iPads.
Partnering with Family Zone ensures the safety and well-being of our students are maintained while they are online and allows us to monitor and help students navigate the complex online environment and provide a holistic approach to cyber safety.
The college is excited to launch our Family Zone School Zone Community initiative and look forward to all the benefits it will bring your children.
