Keeping Children Safe Online Webinar – Wednesday 25th February 2026 at 5:30-6:30 pm
Parenting Across Scotland are delighted to be able to run this webinar again for Cyber Scotland Week 2026.
Want to know more about how to keep children and young people safe in an ever-increasing digital world?
The internet can be a wonderful place for children and young people, from helping with school research reports, to communicating with teachers and friends, and playing interactive games. But the online world also comes with risks, like inappropriate content, cyberbullying and scams. Police Scotland are keen to increase awareness around some of the risks associated with the digital world in order to keep the public safe online. We know that ensuring children and young people stay safe online is a concern for every parent and carer. In partnership with Police Scotland’s Cybercrime Harm Prevention Team, Parenting Across Scotland is hosting a virtual event for parents and carers during Cyber Scotland Week 2026. Parenting Across Scotland are also delighted to be joined by representatives from Education Scotland who will discuss concerns about the use of technology in schools and digital awareness in the curriculum.

Local Radio Station Johnstone Sound visited Riverbrae School today to celebrate Saint Valentine’s Day with Disco.
This is what John Hood and Davy Welsh from Johnstone Sound had to say.
We’re here today to celebrate and entertain the exceptional young people from this very special school!
Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope your day is full of love, laughter, and sweet surprises! We all had a fantastic time at the Disco.
Thank you Johnstone Sound!
Friday 13th February 2026 will be a non-uniform day with a donation of non-perishable foods for Renfrewshire foodbank. The children/ young people will take part in Valentines disco’s/ class parties throughout the day. Please note no football tops are permitted.
Class 406 visited Creative Computing to collect a brilliant prize of 34 digital cameras (one for every class!)
Here is what Creative Computing had to say:
The students from Riverbrae school dropped by Creative Computing today to pick up their prize, won by two of Scotland’s largest TikTok and Twitch streamers @Kezmurph67 and @MyNamesMidas. They accepted our Fortnite challenge and stayed up into the wee hours to win a boxful of cameras for Riverbrae School.
All the kids got to meet Kez and Midas and even left with some Creative Computing swag, including a pen, mat and USB light. Kez and Midas didn’t leave empty handed either, the kids hand-crafted a thank you card which they all signed and even gave them a box of chocolates! Although not before some of the kids made the box a little lighter 😊
We greatly appreciate the business Riverbrae have given us over the years and we’re so happy we were able to give back in a meaningful way. The work put in by all members of staff at Riverbrae school is immense but wholly worthwhile given the number of happy faces we greeted this morning.

On Monday 19th January, Head Teacher Lynne and teacher Lorna went to St Mirren stadium with Craig and Daniel from the secondary department. This was to represent the school at the ‘Beat the Street’ awards ceremony. We were placed first in our category and won a £50 voucher. Well done to Lorna who did the organising for this, and all the staff, families and children who walked for miles. Most importantly it was wonderful to see our young people achieving and bringing home a trophy. Time for a trophy cabinet!
