ICT – ySafe Presentation 

On Monday Yr 8 were lucky enough to have a presentation from ySafe. 

ySafe was founded in response to growing concerns amongst parents and school communities regarding children’s online activities, and the increasing prominence of technology-related developmental and behavioural issues. ySafe’s approach has also been one of a pro-technology ethos, uniquely focussing on the social & emotional components of cyber safety and online behaviours. The particular focus for Yr 8 was around Cyberbullying, Nudes and the Law, Respectful Relationships and Digital Footprint & Online Reputation.

Key take aways for students were as follows:

• Consider other people’s perceptions before posting
• Look yourself up online every now and then
• Online Bullying 
• Set person accounts to private
• Unfollow damaging people/pages.

Cross Country Training

The Redlands XC Training will be open for all Yr 7-12 students on Friday afternoons from 3:30 (Meeting in the Undercroft) until 5pm, as of next Friday afternoon. Students will need to get changed at school, meet in the Undercroft to get their name marked off, and then will walk down with the supervising teacher to Primrose Oval at 3:40. Students will return back to school by 5pm to be picked up. The training will be very useful in the lead up to the School XC in Week 10. In Term 2, the training will continue but will be at Balmoral Oval with a bus which will take all XC runners to and from the venue.
