Today we celebrated Safer Internet Day. Safer Internet Day is a great opportunity to re-emphasise the online safety messages we deliver throughout the year. This year's theme is ‘Too good to be true? Protecting yourself and others from scams online‘.
The day began with a special assembly that included contributions from some of our digital leaders. The boys and girls did a fantastic job! We also had a variety of lessons in our classrooms throughout the day. This afternoon our Primary 7 pupils enjoyed a live lesson hosted by Adobe Express. Safer Internet activities will continue throughout the week.
We would be delighted if parents could join us in celebrating the day by continuing the conversation at home.
The prompts below will start a conversation with your child:
- What’s your favourite thing to do online?
- Have you ever seen a scam online? How did it make you feel?
- What signs would you look out for to spot a scam?
- What advice would you give to your friends about scams?
- Who would you talk to if you saw a scam online?
- What more can I do to help you feel safe online?
Some tips for parents and carers can be found at the link below.
