CYBERSAFETY - TROLLING

Trolling is when someone posts or comments online to deliberately upset others.

 

In short: Trolling is when someone deliberately tries to upset others online.

Trolling can lead to a pile on, when others join in the attack.

WELLBEING RESOURCES

We know that it can sometimes be hard to find the necessary resources in relation to mental health, bullying and family violence, especially when things are tough. For this reason, the School has a small webpage with links related to health and wellbeing resources. This can be found on the School's website under Other Resources or can be found here.
