A shared school community approach to cyber safety.

Enabling students to safely enjoy and embrace technology learning opportunities.

A message from the Principal

Digital technology has opened a world of possibilities for our children.  However, using technology also exposes our children to risks which need to be managed wisely by us all.

Our goal is to protect every student from exposure to online threats – from inappropriate content to cyberbullying, which is why we have partnered Australia’s leading provider of cyber safety and digital awareness services, Family Zone.

To complete the circle of safety for your child, however, we need your participation.

By setting up a private Family Zone account, you can apply age-appropriate parental controls on every device your child has access to, in any location.

We urge you to set up your family’s account today by clicking “sign up” below.  Only by working together can we provide the best possible cyber protection for our children, whilst enabling them to positively use technology to enhance their education.
