Cybersafety Parent Resoures

We will update this page regularly with resources parents can use to support their children in safely navigating the internet. 

How To Report Cyberbullying

As a school, we are dedicated to working with you to ensure that a safe and open conversation around cyberbullying takes place and with more kids than ever using social media, having access to mobile phones and other digital devices, cyberbullying is currently a big concern for all of us. 

Below we have provided some essential information for parents, so you know what to do and what steps to take if you find out your child is being bullied online. How to report online bullying, harassment and abuse. 

If you need to report serious online bullying, harassment or abuse, these are the steps to follow:

●Take screenshots for evidence and record the date and time on the screenshots taken and save these.

●Block the bully/abuser on whatever social media app is being used

●Report to the relevant social media platform and take screenshots that this has been done. You must report through this channel first.

●If the post is not removed within 24hrs, report it to the Office of the eSafety Commissioner via the complaints section found at www.esafety.gov.au

●If the bullying threatens someone’s life or there is image-based abuse taking place, immediately contact your local police station or Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000.

We continue to support these teachings and discussions around cyberbullying in school through the Cybersafety program  we will roll out this term. We look forward to continuing to educate and help support our parents and carers in keeping our children safe online.
