DIGITAL AMBASSADORS HAPPY GAMING

Are you an epic gamer? Well here’s another question… Are you being e-safe online? Being e-smart online is very important, even more important than getting that victory royale! And it’s so much easier!

Here’s our top tips for staying safe!

· When online make sure you don’t go into public voice chat as they can be very mean >:( so stay far away!

· Some people may also try to hack you or purposely be mean to you online. If this happens, report them, and tell a parent or guardian.

That is all from us this week! Happy gaming !

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY POSTER COMPETION

Details in this link HERE

Create a poster featuring an Acknowledgement of Country written in the Indigenous language of your local area! Find out the Indigenous language of your local area, and then work with your local Indigenous community to translate an Acknowledgement of Country into that language. Finally, use your visual art skills to create an eye-catching poster featuring the translated Acknowledgement of Country. In your poster, please use imagery that reflects your local area. For example, don't include a picture of Uluru if your school is in Canberra. This fantastic interactive map of Australia's first languages can help you find your local language.
