Professor Donna Cross: Cyber Bullying

Last week Moncrieff sponsored a parent evening with Donna Cross at PLC and Scotch College. The evening was organised by Moncrieff and the colleges to provide parents with insight into the research that has been conducted by Prof. Donna Cross into the effects of communication technology such as the internet and mobile technology and usage by children, with a particular focus on particular cyber bulling.
