Please refer to information given by your child's area and/or classroom teacher regarding learning activities that you can do with them at home via Seesaw (Junior and Middle Area) and email and/or class weeblies (Senior Area). You can access class Seesaw or blog pages from the Junior, Middle and Senior tabs at the top of this page.

Free Internet Safety Filters for Parents

While children are learning from home, they are away from the online safety and security services provided by our in-school filtering. So together with N4L and Netsafe, the Ministry of Education has launched www.switchonsafety.co.nz - a free way to block the worst of the web for students and families.
 
Through this site, you can follow the instructions to set up your child’s device for safer connectivity while they learn from home.
 
Remember, no technical solution is a silver bullet. Remember to complement this with digital citizenship toolkits provided by Netsafe and the information Allenton School has shared with families around digital citizenship.

Netsafe
Netsafe provides comprehensive support and information to support everyone to stay safe as they work, learn and play online. Netsafe has new and updated resources for parents, whānau and students at https://www.netsafe.org.nz/advice/staying-safe/
