Online Safety in DiSCovery
Last week our Year 7 and 8 students attended a presentation on 'The Internet & the Law' in their DiSCovery classes, delivered by the eSafety Commissioner (The Internet and the Law | eSafety Commissioner). The lesson involved looking at case studies on online behaviour and how to report inappropriate posts.
We encourage our parents to have a conversation with their child about what they learnt.
