Young people today are
immersed in digital technologies. They use the internet
and mobile phones to socialise, study, exchange ideas
and play. While online activity has many benefits, there
are also risks.
To help your children stay
safe online, The Peninsula School is hosting a
Cybersafety
Outreach - Internet
Safety Awareness presentation. Designed for parents,
teachers and students, this presentation is provided by
the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA)
as part of a national program of cybersafety
initiatives.
The Cybersafety Outreach -
Internet Safety Awareness presentation is thorough
and non-technical.
It covers a range of issues including:
- the ways children use the internet and emerging
technologies
- potential risks for children online, such as
cyberbullying, identity theft, inappropriate contact
and exposure to inappropriate content
- tips to help children stay safe online.
The presentation is conducted
by an ACMA Cybersafety trainer and is free of
charge.
The Peninsula School is
committed to helping students develop appropriate
behaviours when using digital technologies, both at
school and home. ACMA will be presenting to students and
staff on the same day.
The Cybersafety Outreach -
Internet Safety Awareness presentation will be held on
Tuesday 6 October (first day back Term 4) at 7pm in
the Pavilion.
Tickets are free, but we do
ask that parents register their intention to attend.
