¯r¶¹Íø aims to ensure students at each of our schools and their parents or carers are well informed about cyber safety so they have the best possible outcomes from using the internet.

In addition to the education provided at schools about cyber safety and workshops and seminars offered to parents, the ¯r¶¹Íø recommends utilising the resources of the Australian Government eSafety Commissioner. This website aims to ensure parents are well informed when it comes to the internet and have access to user-friendly information, links and resources.

Information is provided on topics such as social media, unwelcome websites, stranger danger, cyberbullying, financial exploitation and unlawful usage. The site not only has preventative measures and ideas for parents to implement at home, but also has information which aims to assist parents in dealing with unexpected circumstances, such as a child being the victim of cyber-bullying.

The internet and Facebook are integral to our lives today but parents needn't be frightened if they educate themselves and their children about how to useÌýthe internet, social networking and all mobile internet devices, especially mobile phones, inÌýa safe and sensible way.ÌýÌý
