CHILD SAFETY

Top five tips for keeping children safe from predators

Keeping children safe is the number one concern of every parent and teaching everyone about children’s safety is one of the most important things we can do to reduce the number of children who are victimised each year. Most assaults on children occur from someone who is associated in some way to the child – it is not often the stranger lurking in the shadows – but there are still cases when a child becomes the victim in an opportunistic crime. Many children travel to and from school by themselves in some way, like Bung Siriboon did, which increases their risk, but there are several ways we can teach and empower our children to protect them from becoming victims of predators:

WELLBEING RESOURCES

We know that it can sometimes be hard to find the necessary resources in relation to mental health, bullying and family violence, especially when things are tough. For this reason, the School has a small webpage with links related to health and wellbeing resources. This can be found on the School's website under Other Resources or can be found here.

CYBERSAFETY

Ditch Abc123 - learn how to strengthen your password

The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) encourages all individuals and businesses to use passphrases and a strong password manager to protect against identity compromise and data breaches.

Why use a passphrase?

A strong passphrase helps keep your personal information secure, protects your emails, files and other content. A passphrase is usually longer and less predictable than a password, so it can better prevent cybercriminals getting into your account.

How to create a strong passphrase

A strong passphrase is:

long,
unpredictable, and
unique.

Use a password manager

Remembering a password or passphrase can be overwhelming. People often take shortcuts by reusing the same password across multiple accounts.

Using a password manager makes it easier to manage all the passwords to all your accounts.

Use the ACSC’s learning resources

You can use our easy-to-follow guides and new video to learn how to create a strong passphrase and use password managers to protect your important information and accounts against cyber threats.
