Prayer is a joy, responsibility and privilege. Blessed are Chairo’s mission is to provide excellence in Christ- all who take refuge in Him. Psalm 2:12 centred education, in partnership with families, within Medon Loupis, Senior Chaplain a caring Christian community. Knowing, understanding and caring for the whole-child is an expression of fulfilment for each of the parts of that statement. If we are seeking to provide an education that starts with the Lordship of Jesus, we will see and work with students based on how Jesus sees them—as physical, emotional and spiritual beings. If we are seeking to work in partnership with parents and guardians, we will endeavour to find out everything that we can about their children so we are informed and intentional as partners in care and education. Keeping Our Students Safe This week, I wish to share some information as part of our commitment to work with families to help protect the safety of the children entrusted to our care. The information below has been sourced from information provided by Family Zone Team (familyzone.com/blog/author/family-zone-team). Monkey See, Monkey Don’t! A new video chat app invites young people to send 15-second videos to strangers. What could possibly go wrong? ‘Meet new friends face to face!’ is the tagline for social media app Monkey, the brainchild of Sydney teen Ben Pasternak and USA business partner and fellow teen Isiah Turner. The pair—who claimed their only aim was ‘to fill the loneliness void in teenagers’—have since sold their interests in the app. It currently has more than 300,000 active users and has racked up more than three million downloads worldwide. The app brazenly encourages kids to connect with strangers when they feel bored or lonely via video or text chat. Each interaction lasts only 15 seconds, but extra time can be added if both parties agree. After the initial hook- up, users typically go on to connect on Snapchat. Family Zone cyber expert and ySafe clinical psychologist, Jordan Foster, calls Monkey ‘genuinely terrifying’. ‘Even testing it out was nerve-racking for me’, she said. Foster signed up using her real age of 28 and was instantly connected by a person named CJ, who claimed to be the same age and from the USA. ‘As soon as I accepted the call’, explained Foster, ‘I could see a boy who looked about twelve. Because you’re given almost no information upfront, it really is a huge gamble accepting a conversation. You don’t know who they are and what they are going to say. You can also choose to speak with people who are located near you.’ Of course, Monkey is just one app that families need to be aware of. However, it provides a good example of the cyber dangers that our young people face today. By providing this information through our newsletter, we hope parents and guardians are prompted and informed to hold important conversations with their children about how, when, why and with whom they are engaging beyond their face-to-face relationships. Simon Matthews, Executive Principal Parent Satisfaction Survey Fundraiser for Drouin East Student All Chairo families with children in Prep to Year 12 A fundraiser dinner and auction event has been should have received an email earlier this week organised to help raise funds for the Carmody family. regarding an ISV Parent Satisfaction Survey.
