NSW Department of Education Screen Use and Addiction Research Fund
Dear Parent & Carers
We are writing to invite Lumen Christi Catholic College to take part in Best Practice in Screen Use for Education - Empowering Students, Teachers and School Communities for Digital Learning—a research project led by Macquarie University, in collaboration with 10 other NSW universities, and supported and funded by the NSW Department of Education Screen Use and Addiction Research Fund. The project aims to develop evidence-based guidelines and classroom resources that help students, teachers and families build healthy and effective technology habits for digital learning.
What we are asking you to do
------------------------------------------------
Subject: Help shape wiser screen habits – parent/carer & student survey
Our school has been invited to participate in a study on best practice screen use. Parents/carers can complete a 10-15 min anonymous questionnaire and/or, if they wish, give permission for their child to do a student survey: Take the Parent/carer and student survey. You can opt to receive a summary of the statewide results. Your insights will directly inform new classroom resources and policy. Thank you for your support.
