Wellbeing

Cyber safety lessons in schools are essential to prepare students for the digital world they interact with daily. Teaching children how to recognize online threats, protect personal information, and behave responsibly helps prevent cyberbullying, scams, and identity theft. These lessons also foster critical thinking and digital citizenship, ensuring students grow into safe and responsible internet users.
