This week in Enrichment we commenced our topic on Digital Citizenship.
The focus on this topic is to provide students with the knowledge, tools and strategies to ensure they present a positive image of themselves online and know what to do when things go wrong.
This week we focused on Cyberbullying.
Students discussed the meaning of the term 'Cyberbullying', they interviewed a partner on any experiences they may have had of online bullying and then discussed strategies to handle incidents in which they think they, or someone they know, might be being cyberbullied.
Hopefully, the message was clear: Tell an adult!
As parents, you may also like to know more about cyberbullying, how to spot it and what to do in the event of your child being on the receiving end of inappropriate online messages or comments. There are some fantastic resources and advice pages on the website of the NSPCC which you can access here.
Some of the resources we are using for this topic come from a superb website https://www.commonsensemedia.org/ and there is a section specifically for parents which you can access here.
I hope this may be of some use to you.
