School Holidays
With the holidays just around the corner, your children might be spending more time online for entertainment and to connect with their friends. As a parent or carer, you can help them have safe and positive experiences online. Have a conversation with your child today about how to stay safe online and to deal with online safety issues like cyberbullying, inappropriate content or unwanted contact. The eSafety Commissioner (eSafety.gov.au) has lots of great advice and resources for parents and carers to help keep young people safe online.
Year 7 Orientation Day 2026

Deepfake Technology
Understanding the emerging risks of deepfake technology – and how schools, parents and young people should respond.
Deepfake technology—AI tools that can manipulate images and videos—is now being misused in ways that seriously affect school communities. Apps that create fake explicit content, including of children, are increasingly being used by young people, often with devastating consequences.
Students in some schools have had their images used in fake nude photos or videos. Others have received AI-generated explicit content involving peers. These incidents can cause significant distress and confusion for families, students, and schools.
While the technology is easy to access, the harm it causes is deeply personal.
To help families understand and respond to these risks, and for further information and resources, we have provided the relevant links to the eSafety website.
Please take a moment to review these resources and talk with your child about the responsible use of technology.
