Tuesday 11th February is Safer Internet day.  This is a global day of action bringing communities, schools, organisations and families from more than 180 countries together to raise awareness of online safety issues and work towards a safer internet.

The eSafety Commissioner leads the day in Australia and we’re calling on all Australians to help make the internet a safer, and more positive place.

Why is Safer Internet Day important?

Whether you’re working, learning, playing or scrolling – the internet is a huge part of life. It opens a world of opportunities, but also comes with risks, especially for young people and other at-risk groups.

Let's look at the numbers that remind us why online safety is so important.

As a school our Year 3-6 students will be engaging in and esafety webinar to explore ways that they can keep themselves safe when online.  As a parent it is very hard at times to ensure that we are able to keep ourselves knowledgeable enough in the evry expanding space of the internet.  The esafety website has many fabulous resources to educate and support parents in this space. Please go to  https://www.esafety.gov.au/parents if this is an area that you would like support in.
