Prep Photography in Digitech
This term in Digitech the students have been working hard learning about taking different types of photos. Some of the different photos that they took included a full body photo, head and shoulders, background, action, selfie and group shot. They then put these into a Google Doc and uses some of the features in this program to create a poster.
Everyone (students, parents and even the Digitech teacher) learnt a lot of new skills during this unit and I am very thankful to everyone for their wonderful support.
Here are a selection of a few of Prep Blue’s posters …….
International Dot Day
This week the Grade One students celebrated International Dot Day.
They listened to ‘The Dot’ by Peter Reynolds and created an artwork. They could start with a dot, or the dot could be the artwork. Here are just a few of their amazing creations.
So proud of their super work.

Upsetting Content Online- eSafety for families
Last week, we contacted families about a distressing video that was circulating on Social Media, mainly TikTok, YouTube and Facebook. As far as we know, these platforms are working to take down the clip and ban any users posting it.
While your child/ren may not have been exposed to this particular video, we remind you to be aware of the content your child/ren may be accessing or exposed to online.
We encourage you to have a discussion with your child/ren regarding safety steps they need to take should they encounter inappropriate material.
Below are some resources that you may find helpful to assist you with cyber safety and discussion with your child/ren.
- An article from Insights “Parenting in The Digital Age”
- Parent guide to popular apps – Summary sheet.pdf
- Helping Young People Exposed to Upsetting Content

Kind regards,
