Cyber Safety Platforms
We are a proud eSmart school. Since we first registered with the program in 2018, we have introduced many new policies and activities to improve the way our school manages cybersafety, bullying, and cyberbullying. We feel confident our students, staff, and the wider school community are now well supported to be smart, safe, and responsible users of digital technology.
eSmart is a long-term change program designed to educate, track, monitor, and prevent bullying and cyberbullying. eSmart Schools is tailor-made for schools and designed to affect change in that specific environment.
It is not a band-aid or a quick fix and based on documented evidence, it was created to address cyber risks, bullying, and cyberbullying – and to help schools meet their duty of care.
eSmart provides our school with management tools to deal with bullying and cyber issues and incidents so that students feel safer and more supported at school. It also helps our school to embrace the benefits of technology while reducing students’ exposure to cyber risks, such as cyberbullying, online predators, sexting, identity theft, and fraud.
