The school focus for the next two weeks is:
Be responsible, respectful and safe: Cyber safety
We are learning to: Use our iPads safely and appropriately at home and at school. This is because when students know what to do, they are more likely to be safe and respectful. During this week, we will review our student matrix for what being respectful, responsible and safe digitally means.
What is Cyber Safety?
Helping your child with Cyber safety means that they are staying safe online by using the internet responsibly and protecting themself from risks like cyberbullying, scams, and inappropriate content.
Protecting personal information
This means they will keep details like their full name, address, phone number, passwords, and school name private, so they don’t fall into the wrong hands.
Think before you click
Before clicking on links or downloading files, they should make sure it comes from trusted sources, as some might trick them into sharing personal information or harm their device.
Support systems
If your child encounters anything online that makes them feel uncomfortable, scared, or confused, encourage them to talk to a trusted adult like a parent or teacher, who can help them handle the situation.

We encourage you to have conversations with your child about staying safe online, as a shared approach between school and home leads to better awareness and safer online habits.
