Think U Know- Cyber Safety Presentation- Tuesday 11th June 6pm
Alphington Primary School will be hosting a ThinkUKnow presentation for parents and carers on Tuesday 11th June at 6pm.
ThinkUKnow Australia is an evidence based education program delivered nationally to prevent online child sexual exploitation.
This session is recommended for parents of Year 5 + 6 students, though is also informative and open to our whole school community.
No need to RSVP, just come along!
This is a fantastic opportunity for you to learn more about young people and the online environment, and how you can help them to be safe and responsible users of technology. It is recommended particularly for Year 5 and 6 parents/carers, but also for any other parents interested in learning more.
Think U Know Australia is a partnership between the Australian Federal Police, Microsoft Australia, Datacom and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. The program is delivered in collaboration with policing partners New South Wales Police Force, Northern Territory Police, Queensland Police, South Australia Police, Tasmania Police, Western Australia Police, as well as Neighbourhood Watch Australasia.
The presentation will be delivered by a local law enforcement member (Andrew Moreton) and an industry volunteer. The presentation is pro-technology and addresses topics including self-generated child abuse material, online grooming, sexual extortion, and importantly encourages help seeking behaviour.
