Supporting Families in Responsibile Technology Use

At Calvary Christian College, we partner with families to support students in developing healthy digital habits, safe online behaviours, and responsible use of technology. As part of this commitment, families are provided with access to Qustodio, a digital wellbeing tool that supports parents in guiding their children’s technology use at home.

Qustodio supports families by helping them to:

• Support focus and learning by managing access to distracting apps and games during homework and study time.
• Encourage safe online exploration by blocking inappropriate websites, apps, games, and content while allowing age-appropriate independence.
• Promote healthy routines by scheduling screen-free times in the evenings to support rest, balance, and wellbeing.
