WEEKLY WELLBEING ACTION  

'Reduce screentime. Instead, watch the sunrise, read a book, write down your dreams or chat with a friend'.

Continuing Our Learning About Cyber Safety and Digital Wellbeing

This term, we are continuing our learning through the Inform and Empower program, helping students develop the knowledge and skills to become safe, responsible and respectful digital citizens.

Throughout Term 3, students will explore age-appropriate topics designed to strengthen their understanding of online safety and digital wellbeing:

• Foundation: Safe Screen Time – learning how to stay safe online, recognise safe and unsafe online spaces, and identify trusted adults who can help.
• Years 1–2: Digital Footprints – understanding how to protect personal information, create safe passwords, and recognise that not everyone online is who they say they are.
• Years 3–4: Cyberbullying – recognising cyberbullying, responding safely to uncomfortable online situations, being an upstander, and learning about respectful online interactions.
• Years 5–6: Cyberbullying and Online Respect – developing strategies to respond to challenging online situations, support others, seek help when needed, and demonstrate respectful and responsible online behaviour.

Families play an important role in reinforcing these messages at home. Please keep an eye out for the parent information sheets that will be shared over the coming weeks. These resources provide practical tips and conversation starters to support your child's learning and help promote positive digital habits at home.

Access the links below to explore helpful articles and videos that provide practical tips and strategies for parents to help keep your child safe online, build healthy digital habits, and encourage positive online behaviour.
