Cybersafe Together
In cooperation with Cybersafe Families, students from Years 3-6 have been involved in classroom sessions where the following topics were discussed:-
- Digital reputation
- Online Gaming
- Social Media dos and don’ts
- Cyberbullying
- Online Grooming
- Strategies for online well-being and screen time management
- Staying within the law
- Online security and privacy, protecting personal information.
- Ways to stay safe where to seek help
These sessions then culminated in a Family Session held last Wednesday night where students with their parents received information on the following topics:-
- Introduction to the most popular and current social media platforms
- Tools to recognise and manage cyberbullying
- Information about online grooming and other risks
- Communication strategies – how to start difficult conversations
- Strategies for supporting positive online behaviour, including tips on managing screen time.
School of the Nativity received a Parents in Education grant, which assisted in providing these Cybersafe sessions to our community.
The PIE grant program is supported by the Office of the Minister for Education, Training, and Skills, Government of South Australia. Catholic School Parents South Australia administers the grants for Catholic Schools in South Australia.
We want to thank Cybersafe Families for providing our community with valuable information on Cybersafety and to the parents and students who enjoyed our sausage sizzle, followed by the Family Cybersafe Session. We trust that everyone walked away with ideas and strategies for approaching cyber safety in their homes.
