eSmart @ MESC

Mount Eliza Secondary College is becoming an esmart school.

eSmart Schools provides a framework that guides the introduction of policies, practices and whole-school change processes to support the creation of a cyber safe or eSmart environment.

eSmart Schools was developed by RMIT University in consultation with cyber safety, bullying, education and industry experts from across Australia. Over 2000 Australian schools have adopted this program.

An eSmart school is a school where the smart, safe and responsible use of information and

 communications technology is a cultural norm. Students, teachers and the wider school community are equipped to embrace the best these technologies can offer, while being savvy about the pitfalls.

We will be working to provide students, parents and the wider school community with an improved understanding of how to be safe and responsible online, and what can be done if there is a problem.

More information on the esmart program can be found at www.esmart.org.au.
