Department Education Sport and Culture - Respect, Integrity, Caring, Fairness, Trust

As a Department we are committed to the safety and well being of all members of our community. Promoting e-safety in schools and beyond helps create a secure learning environment, prevents cyberbullying, and equips students with the knowledge and skills to navigate the internet responsibly. This not only protects them but also fosters a positive and respectful online and real world community. By practicing e-safety, we can protect ourselves from negative people, influences and situations online. Staying safe means you can enjoy the internet without worrying about getting hurt or in trouble.

In today's digital age, the internet is a crucial part of daily life, providing valuable resources for learning, communication, and entertainment. However, it also poses significant risks, especially for children. Ensuring e-safety is essential to protect personal information, mental health, and overall well-being. E-safety is a shared responsibility among parents and carers, young people, and teachers. By working together, we can ensure that the internet remains a safe and enriching space for everyone.
