Principal’s Report How cybersafe are you? Does your child have access to the internet at home? Do they have access via their phone? Are they allowed to search the internet freely without your supervision? This week all students, staff and attending parents participated in a cybersafe workshop delivered by Adjunct Professor Nigel Phair of the Institute for Cyber Stafety. It is of vital importance that we teach our children about impacts of being cybersafe and responsible participants in the online environment. This is a very real and current issue with so many young and vulnerable people having access to devices and Internet access. This involves social media as well. There are many age restrictions on certain Apps and social media sites. Parents need to be aware of these. They exist for a reason. Many of these software packages are trackable and without appropriate settings being applied, locations are easily visible. Here a few of the available sites and their current age limits: Snapchat – 12 years Instagram – 12 years Facebook – 13 years Cybersafety is a real issue. Apart from perpetrators, there are also so many examples of cyberbullying that students need to be aware of. There are potential dangers of using such software and communications. We often talk to children about stranger danger…what about cyber stranger danger? As a school, we are committed to educating and promoting safe online practices helping students understand they must conduct themselves in a safe, positive and respectful manner at all times online - as they are expected to do in person. As a parent you have a significant role to play in educating, modelling and policing online behaviour and activity. And most importantly be proactive and educated on the ever evolving cyberworld. If you have any concerns please contact myself or your child’s teacher. Valuable information, resources and advice can be readily accessed through the Office of the eSafety Commissioner.
