E-Safety
At St Thomas Aquinas we are continually teaching our students about digital and online safety to help them become knowledgeable digital citizens. Each week we will be posting online safety tips to help parents and families build your knowledge and open discussion with your children at home.
Young people are spending more time online than ever before. And while it keeps them connected and allows them to work and play, it’s important to be aware of the risks. For example, online challenges encouraging dangerous behaviours can quickly gain traction. What makes these challenges even more dangerous is that videos are live-streamed or posted on popular apps, spreading to a large and impressionable audience.
Read the eSafety Commissioner’s (eSafety.gov.au) advice on why it’s crucial to provide your child with early guidance and develop their critical reasoning skills as a protective strategy.
