Cyber Safety

Online safety Mighty Heroes

 

The Australian Government e-safety website have created heroes that are there to help you talk with your children about how to protect themselves online. It's a series of four short video chapters designed for children aged 5 to 8 years old. Each chapter features a Mighty Hero and their online safety superpower. They include:

 

  • Wanda the echidna: I am responsible – I protect my personal information.
  • River the sugar glider: I show respect – I am kind and caring to others.
  • Dusty the frilled neck lizard: I trust my feelings – I ask for help when something doesn’t feel right.
  • Billie the bilby: I investigate – I question what I see, hear and do online. 

Alternatively, you can watch the compilation video, which includes all four character chapters, or watch each chapter separately. There are conversation starters to talk with your child and encourage them to reflect on the online safety messages from each chapter. Use this QR code to access these helpful resources.
