St Mary Magdalen's Catholic Primary School and Nursery

Dear Parents and Carers, St Mary Magdalen's are excited to offer two online safety parent workshops. These will be held in school on Tuesday 15th October at 2pm and then repeated again at 6pm. They shouldn't last more than 30 minutes. We are hoping to encourage as many of our parents and carers attend as possible, to learn how to keep their children safe when being using devices online. These workshops will be held in the school hall, where tea, coffee, biscuits and refreshments will be provided. We do hope you all can join us for one of the two workshops. Thanks SMM
