Our commitment to the Responsible Use of Digital Technologies

At Oatlands Primary School we are committed to building a culture of respect and responsibility. We show this in the way we use technology and interact online. We teach our students about responsible digital behaviours, including how to recognise and respond to online dangers and threats. We support students in developing the digital skills they need to make a positive impact in the world. We carefully consider the integration of digital tools into the curriculum. We utilise these to provide rich, interactive and personalised experiences while ensuring a balance with offline learning opportunities.

Please ensure that you have consented to the 2026 Acceptable Use Agreement event on Compass by Monday 9th February to ensure your child is able to use a device at school.

CYBER SAFETY PROJECT

Our Commitment to Online Safety

We believe that preparing students to navigate the digital world safely is just as important as teaching literacy and numeracy. That’s why Oatlands Primary School has partnered with the Cyber Safety Project to implement the Cyber Safe Classroom Curriculum.

Why It Matters

Children are growing up in a world shaped by technology, gaming, social media, and AI. While these tools offer incredible opportunities, they also come with risks. Our curriculum helps students:

Understand how to stay safe and protect their privacy
Recognise and respond to online challenges like cyberbullying
Build empathy, resilience, and respectful digital habits

What You Can Expect

Your child will participate in age-appropriate lessons delivered by classroom teachers, featuring interactive activities and a focus on four core values: Responsibility, Integrity, Strength, and Empathy.

How You Can Support at Home

You play a vital role in your child’s digital safety journey. We encourage you to talk regularly about your child’s online experiences and model safe habits.

Together, we can build a safer digital future for our students.

RESOURCES
