The online world is fast becoming the centre of our children’s universe. It can be a challenging task for all of us to stay on top of the dangers associated with their use of technology, while ensuring they are able to find balance, and acquire the skills to not only stay safe, but to thrive within this environment.
We have engaged ySafe, Australia’s leading educators in Social Media and Cyber Safety to equip our students with the vital skills needed to master their online environments.OnlineLearning01
