Family Zone - Cyber Safety Solution

By Belinda Hirst | Posted: Monday August 31, 2020

As part of our ongoing commitment to students’ safety and well-being, we’re proud to announce that we have introduced technologies from Family Zone.

Family Zone is a New Zealand provider of cyber safety technology. Family Zone helps us to ensure our students are safe and on task during school time.  

We are in the process of fully deploying Family Zone’s filtering technology on our school wifi and on students' individual school accounts. 

This is critical to our efforts to protect your children online during school time and when they are using their school account. This monitoring/filtering will happen whenever your child uses/is logged in to their school account: whether your child is connected to the school’s wifi or not.

To learn more about Family Zone, please visit their website.

We are committed to ensuring our students get the very best education and leave our school prepared for the digital world we now live in. Our school is choosing to step up to the challenge and we do so in confidence that we’ll receive your support.

Please be assured that the school and Family Zone take your privacy and security seriously.
