Digital Citizenship and the Acceptable Use of Technology Agreement
Safer Internet Day was on the 11th February 2025 and in support of this day, our community started online safety conversations.
As a part of this day, our students signed the CEDWW Acceptable Use of Technology Agreement (AUTA). Homegroup teachers worked through each dot-point with our students to ensure they are aware of their responsibilities when using technology. Discussions were also started regarding social media use and students' screen time. Generating a conversation with your child in regards to the AUTA may also be beneficial in supporting your child with using technology safely.
Further information can be found in the Canvas Student Hub.
