Kohimarama School Online Safety Hub
Kohimarama School is working with Linewize to help ensure the online safety of our students.
This allows us to better monitor and respond to online safety issues for children using school-issued devices or google accounts.
A big part of the Linewize approach to cyber safety is providing resources for the school community to help ensure children’s online time is productive and safe. Our school’s Online Safety Hub is an excellent source of advice and information for parents. The site is available at kohimarama.onlinesafetyhub.nz
Through this site, you will also be able to gain access to the Qustodio Parent app. We invite you to join us in further building healthy digital habits and a safe online environment for your child by creating your own Qustodio account to use at home, across two devices, free of charge.
Key features include:
- Filter and block apps and content that you don’t want your child to see
- Customise what your child can access during homework hours
- Balance screen time by setting time limits on devices as well as for specific apps
- Protect screen-free moments such as mealtimes and bedtimes.
We hope you find these resources beneficial
