Cyber Safety

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.
