On Wednesday we welcomed back our personal safety from Instincts Training to deliver another session, this time focussing on internet safety.
We began by discussing whether we thought the internet was good or bad. Whilst we agreed that the internet is a good place (especially for gaming!) we recognised that it does have its bad/dangerous points, too.
Students were presented with several scenarios to encourage them to reflect on their online behaviours, such as:
- Have you ever shared anything online about someone online that you knew they wouldn’t want posted?
- Have you ever liked or shared a mean post about someone?
- Have you posted something using someone else’s account?
- Have you ever spoken to someone online who you didn’t know?
These questions helped to generate some mature and well thought out discussions around the internet, interacting online and how to spot online dangers. It was reassuring to know that on the whole, Y7 are a savvy lot.
We’d like to appreciate all our Y7 students for the Integrity, courage, compassion shown when sharing and listening to crews’ experiences.
