- An adult immersion in May. This is open to interested adults and will take place in May 2020.
An information evening for these immersions will be held at St John's on Wednesday 13 November at 6 pm.

E-SAFETY WEBSITE LAUNCH
The eSafety website esafety.gov.au has been relaunched. It comes with a PDF guide (Click here to access) to lead you through the new functionality.
‘We’ve spent the last 18 months working alongside various experts to create, refresh and streamline eSafety’s content. Every page on our site has been updated with tailored advice, resources, and support to ensure we help Australians have empowering and positive experiences online.
Almost a third of the website features exciting new material, including our section for young people, guided by young people. Not only is this a great resource for students, but the topics can help with online safety conversations in Australian classrooms.
Over 300 of our resources, including our popular education resources, have been refreshed and rebranded and are easier to find using our new filter feature. Now, you can search by education level and topic to ensure you find what best resonates with your specific school context and classroom needs. We have also retired some of our older resources — with new research and technology, they have become outdated and are no longer relevant.
Our new online safety hub presents an incredible opportunity to reach a broader range of Australians and make them aware of eSafety’s resources and services.’
