Year 3 and 4 students recently participated in the Cyber Safety Project’s Privacy Protectors Incursion, an engaging and age-appropriate session designed to help them navigate the online world safely and responsibly.
Through interactive activities and discussion, students explored the difference between personal, private and public information, gaining a deeper understanding of what is safe to share online and who may be able to see it. They also considered the importance of protecting their digital footprint and making thoughtful choices when connecting, learning and playing online.
The session provided practical strategies for staying safe in digital spaces, including creating strong and secure passwords and recognising common online scams and potential cyber threats. Students were encouraged to think critically about the information they share and the steps they can take to protect their privacy.
As technology continues to play an important role in everyday life, opportunities such as this help students develop the knowledge, confidence and skills to become responsible digital citizens. The Privacy Protectors incursion was a valuable reminder that staying safe online starts with making informed choices every day.
