ONLINE SAFETY
You may be aware that we recently had a visit from The Illawarra Area Command Police
Youth Liaison officers Senior Constables Naomi Jones and Danny Kotevski.

During their visit they spoke with our Stage 2 and 3 (Years 3-6) students about online safety. To complement their presentation and conscious of student use of digital technology daily at school and at home, we wish to inform parents and carers of the esafety commissioner (esafety), a government agency dedicated to keeping people safer online.

Their purpose is to help safeguard all Australians from online harms and to promote safer, more positive online experiences. The esafety commissioner (esafety), uses research, evidence and experience to lead and advise on online safety issues and deliver comprehensive services that are compassionate and focused on people.

Kind regards
Mr Gavan Hoctor
Assistant Principal
