eSafety

The eSafety website is a fantastic resource for parents, children and educators in helping our students and children make safe choices online. eSafety provides a wide range of online safety programs and resources. They can help Australians experiencing online bullying or abuse to take action or make a complaint. eSafety has a range of online safety webinars and face-to face presentations provided free of charge.

The Parent section of the website provides information about understanding online safety challenges (cyberbullying, screen time, gaming etc.), helping your child have positive online experiences (online safety basics, good habits start young, privacy and your child, parental controls etc.) and activities to do with you child.

The Kids section of the website is broken up into two categories, 'be an eSafe kid' and 'I want help'. Being an eSafe kid is about being safe, curious, kind and secure online. The 'I want help with' section has a range of scenarios that can happen online and provides kid friendly answers to challenges kids come across online. 

As our students become more technology aware, it is important for us to stay up to date with what they are accessing and how they are acessing content online. This website is a great tool, that is regulary updated and can support us to help our students be safe online users.
