We are eSmart

St Albans Secondary College is proud to announce that we are now officially an eSmart school.

The eSmart Program was introduced by the Alannah & Madeline Foundation to ensure that schools provide a well managed and secure environment where students can safely use digital technology. It requires that the school can demonstrate it has sound policies that practices and address bullying in all forms, especially cyberbullying.

Since we first registered with the program, we have introduced many new policies and activities to improve the way our school manages cybersafety, bullying and cyberbullying.

We feel confident our students, staff and the wider school community are now well supported to be smart, safe and responsible users of digital technology. Information documents relating to ethical and safe use of the internet, social media and digital technology in general are available from the school and we would invite parents/guardians to request copies of these on their next visit to the school.

We encourage everyone in the school community to continue to uphold and promote eSmart behaviours, at school and at home. If you are aware of any incidents of bullying, cyberbullying or risky online behaviour, please contact your child’s Year Level Coordinator or Sub School Leader.

Hint for the day: Students should use their laptops, phones and all digital devices in a common area of your home. This way you can monitor its use and, if it is not in their room, they are more likely to get a full nights sleep.
