As part of our commitment to helping every child flourish both in school and beyond, we are pleased to share key messages from our latest.
This month’s edition highlights several online trends and apps that families may wish to be aware of, including AI companions, CapCut and Discord. The newsletter explains how these platforms work, outlines age recommendations and offers practical advice to help children stay safe online.
One important focus is the growing popularity of AI companions. These artificial intelligence tools are designed to mimic conversation and friendship, making it especially important for children to understand the difference between AI interactions and real-world relationships. Families are encouraged to talk regularly about online experiences and remind children never to share personal information online.
The newsletter also shares guidance about popular platforms such as CapCut and Discord, helping parents understand both the creative opportunities and the potential risks associated with these services.
Alongside these updates, families are reminded that the internet can be a wonderful place for creativity, learning and connection. The newsletter suggests a range of enjoyable online activities that adults and children can explore together, including quizzes, educational websites, digital art and audiobooks.
At St Peter’s, our vision of Love, Learn, Shine guides everything we do. By working together with families, we can help children develop the knowledge, confidence and wisdom they need to make safe and positive choices online, enabling them to shine both in the digital world and beyond. ✨
Thank you for your continued support in keeping our children safe online.
