Inform & Empower Incursions

In 2026 we are proud to continue to partner with Inform and Empower to provide our students with termly explicit teaching of digital safety and wellbeing. 

Through these engaging livestream sessions students will learn about many important concepts from their digital footprint to how to handle uncomfortable situations, they will walk away from each session with a new tool to add to their toolkit for navigating the digital world.

 

Each session students will come home with a FAQ sheet for families to support families in their conversations and digital habits at home. We know this is a useful tool for our parents and building our school and parent partnerships

We will continue to work with Inform and Empower in 2026. They will deliver age appropriate Cyber Safety lessons to all students from Prep - Year 6 throughout 2026.
