Optus Digital Thumbprint

Supporting young people to be safe, responsible and positive online is a key challenge for educators and parents alike.  Recently the team from the Optus Digital Thumbprint program were in the classroom with our Year 8 students taking them through the fun and interactive workshops that cover a range of important issues such as cybersecurity, cyberbullying, digital discernment, digital balance, and digital identity.

It is very important to be aware of these topics so that your child is prepared and supported to thrive in the digital world.  There is a range of free, downloadable Digital Thumbprint Parent Conversation Guides for parents and care-givers that support you to have effective conversations around what young people should and shouldn’t share online, cyberbullying, and how digital technology can support effective study practices.
