Supporting the Community of St. Bede's to 'Live Well'

Bonjour tout le monde,

We are very pleased to share that St. Bede's has been successful in meeting all of the requirements to now state 'We are eSmart'.

You should be able to see our 'We are eSmart' sign put on display at the front of the school in the coming weeks.

Please read on to find out more about eSmart or click on the link to explore their website.

eSmart Schools, an initiative of the Alannah & Madeline Foundation, helps teachers, librarians and the greater community to best manage cyber risks, bullying and cyber bullying issues so students feel safer and supported.

It is a Framework that sits across the entire community – teachers, students, parents and the library community.

eSmart Schools is a long-term change program designed to educate, track, monitor and prevent bullying and cyber bullying. eSmart Schools and Libraries are tailor-made and designed to effect change in that specific environment.eSmart Schools also supports schools and libraries to embrace the benefits of technology while reducing childrens’ exposure to cyber risks, such as cyber bullying, online sexual predation, sexting, identity theft and fraud.

It is not a band-aid or a quick fix, and, based on documented evidence, it was created to address cyber risks and help schools meet their duty of care.

Our goal is to keep children safe from bullying, cyber bullying and violence. eSmart is a way to achieve this.

Take care,

Justin McFarlane - Student Wellbeing Leader
