A Comprehensive Cyberbullying Guide for Parents

The Beagle Editor, I recently read your article where you mention bullying, Thank you for sharing!

I'm a passionate advocate for the awareness of bullying among children. It's always been something I've deeply resented, even more since my kids started going to school.

So, I'm always looking for new resources to stay up-to-date on the issue. I recently found this cyberbullying guide that provides parents and teachers with valuable tips for keeping our kids safe online: https://www.wizcase.com/blog/a-comprehensive-cyberbullying-guide-for-parents/

I wanted to ask you to share the article on your page so that more parents can learn how to protect their kids online.

I hope we can build a safer internet for everyone, Mia Williams

The Triangle - June 2023 is OUT NOW

Triangle Editorial, by Linda Sang

Reading through all the contributions to The Triangle, I was truly struck by the range and breadth of interesting and diverting activities one can be involved in. Whether you sign up to a workshop learning about fungi, how it grows, where to find it, how to grow it and, more importantly to me, where to eat it! Learn to play bridge, volunteer to work in a productive community garden or wander through other people’s gardens and become inspired. Looking through the happy photos of children celebrating the coronation with a picnic and decorations of their own making, taking part in Anzac memorials through the different villages, playing music to a crowd at a village fair or having fun at the Moodji Garden’s family workshops – I can see the advantages of bringing up children in this wonderful environment.

There’s art and music to be enjoyed, community dinners, new services and venues to explore. Of course it’s not all beer and skittles – the many building projects that are on the table, both large and small, are being delayed by many factors, including the slowness of DAs.

It’s impacting individuals and larger projects where it hurts most – budgeting and time. And some projects are being halted for other reasons – environmental and cultural. Reading some of the history of Dignams Creek and surrounding areas, I was given a perspective on history that seemed to mirror contemporary times.

People worked and suffered, but also had time to enjoy themselves in the community. Just like now. Our communities are small, but they reflect the wider world. And being small we can implement change more efficiently and cooperatively. If only we would.
