The internet plays a major part in the everyday lives of young learners in today’s society, both in and outside the school environment. Students are educated in school about the dangers surrounding the use of the internet and learn about appropriate behaviours and critical thinking skills to help them use the internet safely. However, the digital world is always changing and so it is important to make sure you know how to help keep your child(ren) safe when they are using the internet, social networks, apps, games and more.

Filtering and Monitoring

The school has stringent controls and checks on filtering and monitoring. All computer devices in school are monitored whether in the school or elsewhere. The school uses SENSO software to alert to school online safety staff any key words, phrases or other triggers. Checks are made on a daily basis. The school maintains a strict file wall to maintain a strong filtering system on the network.  Both systems meet Government requirements and continually update to meet new threats.
