Following our CYBERSAFETY sessions for students, staff and parents, we felt it extremely important to share with parents and our community some excellent tips and web links regarding the safe use of technology.
Below is the link to acma's Cybersafety site, which provides a wealth of information about keeping your children
safe on the internet. The school has ordered copies of the parent brochure, (pictures below), however there are many resources that can be found on the CYBERSMART site itself.

If any student or parent is concerned about a negative experience using the internet at school, where they are made to feel unsafe or frightened, always inform a teacher, or a parent/carer, if this occurs at home.
Always be aware of what your children are doing on the internet.
