An opportunity to learn from Dr. Richard Hogan

Bunclody Community College is delighted to announce that we are now a registered Parenting and Technology Institute (PATI) school. This exciting development means that our parent community is now entitled to take part in the highly regarded Parenting the Tech-Savvy Child programme.

As part of our commitment to supporting families in navigating the challenges and opportunities of the digital world, this programme offers parents practical guidance, evidence-based insights, and strategies to help children develop healthy and balanced relationships with technology.

The programme will be delivered through a live, interactive webinar series by Dr. Richard Hogan, an internationally recognised expert in parenting, child psychology, and technology use. These engaging sessions provide parents with the opportunity not only to learn, but also to ask questions and participate in meaningful discussion.

Webinar Details:

  • Time: Tuesdays at 7.00pm (1 hour)
  • Dates:
    • 3rd February
    • 10th February
    • 24th February

We strongly encourage parents and guardians to avail of this valuable opportunity to build confidence and understanding around technology use in the home. Further details on registration and access will be shared with parents in advance of the sessions, and more about the programme can be found here Parenting the Tech-Savvy Child with Dr. Richard Hogan
