As part of our pastoral program, we have led students through a series of activities that focus on making good decisions online and being aware of the digital footprint we leave behind. We have made use of the eSmart Digital Licence program which is supported by the Madeline and Alannah Foundation, and have also had Year 9 students recently hear from Susan McLean, an expert in cyber safety.

In addition, in recent weeks, the eSafety Commissioner has made resources available for parents and carers in their efforts to support their children to have safe online experiences. These resources include a number of live webinars, such as AI assisted image-based abuse, and understanding parental controls to help protect your child online. These webinars will be run at various times across the coming months. More information can be found at the website below:
The Black Dog Institute are offering a 90 minute webinar designed to help parents and carers with strategies that support the mental health of adolescents. Please see the attached flyer for details.
