Cybersafety

On 3 November, 2007 the Minister for Education, Bronwyn Pike, MP, announced that all Victorian government schools will be provided with updated advice and strategies on cyber bullying and cyber safety. As part of the //Safe Schools are Effective Schools// strategy, and the Department's commitment to providing safe, secure and stimulating learning environments, schools will be required to review their Student Code of Conduct by end of **Term 1 2008**. The information on this website provides schools with strategies to assist in responding to and preventing cyber bullying and promotional material for students, highlighting the issue of cyber safety including posters, bookmarks and wallet cards.

Sandy Phillips from DEECD presented on Cybersafety at the first day of Coordinator training on Feb 28th - here is a resource from this presentation:
