Year 7 & 8 Police Presentations

On Wednesday morning, Years 7 to 8 students attended Cyber Safety sessions, presented by Senior Constable Troy Fisher - Schools Liaison Officer from Wagga Wagga Local Area Command. The sessions involved educating students about the current laws relating to bullying and to threatening and harassing online or electronic communication, often referred to as cyber-bullying. Students were also informed about the illegalities relating to the  production, transmission and possession of  sexually explicit material through the use of technology, often referred to as sexting, which for our students constitutes child pornography offences. Troy also shared some real case examples with the students, demonstrating the devastating impact that bullying, sexting and cyber-bullying can have on the lives of the victim.

The sessions also included other topics related to cyber safety, including how students can protect their personal details, as well as how to protect themselves from falling victim to online predators. 

Thank you to Troy for the informative presentations and the Local Area Command for taking a proactive approach to protecting the young people in our community. If parents would like more information on cyber  safety, I would encourage you to look at the resources available from the Office of the eSafety Commissioner at https://www.esafety.gov.au/.
