e-Safety

At Upwey HS we run specialised workshops around safe behaviour online and have e-safety modules built into the Information Technology curriculum to increase student awareness of how to protect themselves online. Our young people however, have never known life without access to the Internet. This creates a sense of confidence, when combined with their need to belong and natural curiosity, can lead to risk taking behaviours online.

Families who are seeking information, advice or support regarding issues related to the Internet are adviced to visit the eSafety Commissioner website linked below.
