With much of July falling during the school holidays, now is the perfect time for schools using Linewize Connect and the Qustodio Parent Tools to remind families to partner with you in this important Cyber Safety initiative. School breaks often mean more screen time for students, making this an ideal moment to reinforce healthy online habits at home.
A big thank you to everyone who joined us for last week’s webinar "Striking the right balance between safety and learning". If you couldn’t make it, you can catch up by watching our webinar replay.
From the filtering rules webinar we've created a new practical guide, highlighting common pitfalls and key considerations when creating safe, learning-ready filtering policies within the Linewize Filter platform.
We also highlight the eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant’s recent National Press Club address,
“Swimming Between the Digital Flags: Helping Young Australians Navigate Social Media’s Dangerous Currents.”
Ms Inman Grant outlines key aspects of Australia’s forthcoming social media regulations. This timely and important address offers valuable insights into the changing online safety landscape, particularly relevant as your school prepares to review its Social and Streaming Media policies ahead of the Dec 2025 regulatory changes, and as you continue to strengthen student digital literacy through offerings like ySafe and their Digital Ambassadors Program.

Qustodio
Classwize
Using the Classwize Focus feature, teachers can now add one or more students to an active Focus session or to an existing Focus Plan to help them stay engaged and minimise digital distraction in the classroom.
Consumer & Community
Qustodio's new social monitoring feature helps parents ensure their children enjoy safe interactions on WhatsApp, Line, and Instagram. They get AI-powered alerts via push notification and email for any concerning messages that relate to bullying, self-harm, school absences, and health worries.
This new feature gives parents peace of mind and fosters meaningful, timely conversations with their children. Available for Qustodio Premium Complete users.
Linewize Filter (School Manager)
We’re introducing a new streamlined process for requesting category changes to websites. Now, instead of raising a support ticket or live chatting with our support team, you can simply click on the new option to “Suggest a different category” directly from the Category Search page. Check it out!
Pulse Check-in
The enhanced export function in Pulse now makes it even easier to access and analyse your school’s wellbeing data outside the Pulse Dashboard.
Monitor
We’ve enhanced Linewize Monitor to give schools greater flexibility in configuring when it actively reports on risky student activity. This update empowers schools to align monitoring settings with their staff resourcing, policies, and processes.
With this improvement, schools can take a more tailored approach to student safety, balancing well-being and digital engagement in a way that works best for their community.
