Student Well-being 

Year 5/6 Community

Topic: Being Responsible Online 

The students in the Year 5/6 Community have been thoroughly engaged in our Wellbeing unit, which has shone the spotlight on how we interact and use digital technology in order to protect our online wellbeing. 

Students explored the meaning of the word “banter,” and when it can be used in social interactions both offline and online. In small groups, students discussed how “banter” is different to “bullying” by finishing off statements.

It was great to see how students made connections to the different online platforms where they interact with peers, and how they can adjust the ways they communicate with each other by understanding what is socially acceptable online and supported by their peers who use it.
