Cyber safetyWhat about Internet safety? What does the school do about cyber safety?
The Department of Education maintains strict filters
on all school networks across the state. All teachers closely supervise
all computer and iPad usage in the classroom and guide students as to
where they can go on the Internet.
As part of being an eSmart accredited
school, class teachers implement the school’s Cyber Safety Program in
all year levels. Part of this program teaches students what to do if
they feel unsafe on the Internet, including how to screenshot offensive
material. It also pays specific attention to the sharing of personal
information online. In older year levels students also have access to
our PSSS Concern ICT reporting site, if they have concerns about
cyber bullying or other unsafe online behaviours they may experience.
Concern
PSSS Concern is an electronic form to report online concerns or online bullying that
students have for themselves or others.
