Safer Internet Day
Today, we are celebrating Safer Internet Day, a global event dedicated to promoting the safe and responsible use of the internet. As technology continues to play a central role in our children’s lives, it’s essential that we work together to help them navigate the online world safely and confidently.
On Safer Internet Day, we’ll be discussing key topics with our students, including:
Privacy and Security: How to protect personal information online.
Digital Footprint: Understanding how online actions can have lasting consequences.
Respectful Communication: The importance of kindness and respect when interacting online.
Recognising Online Risks: Identifying and avoiding harmful content and interactions.
We encourage you to join in this important conversation at home by discussing the digital tools your child uses, setting up appropriate privacy settings, and making sure your child knows how to reach out if they ever feel uncomfortable online. Together, we can help our children develop a positive relationship with the internet while keeping them safe.
