Safer Internet Day
On Tuesday 7 February, students from Prep to Year 6 participated in activities to acknowledge Safer Internet Day – a global event that brings together communities, families, schools and organisations from more than 200 countries to help create safer online spaces. This worldwide initiative is celebrating 20 years in 2023, making it a great time to reflect as well as look forward to how we can be safe digital citizens. This year the theme in Australia is Connect. Reflect. Protect.
Our students will continue to explore how to be safe digital citizens this term in their Digital Technology lessons. We will explore:
- How we can connect with our friends and family online in a safe way
- Reflecting on how our actions online can affect us and others
- Explore ways that we can protect ourselves by making safe choices online.
The eSafety Commissioner offers free online webinars to provide parents and carers with the knowledge, skills and tools to support their children to have safe online experiences. An overview of the webinars provided in 2023 can be found here.
