On Wednesday, June 28, the Year 5/6 classes participated in the “Think You Know” SAPOL presentation. Matt from SA Police spoke to students about the importance of using the internet safely. He spoke about what information should be kept private, the difference between private and public, and how to engage in online conversations safely. Matt also discussed the dangers of engaging with people that students do not know in online environments. He reiterated the importance of talking to trusted adults if students see or experience anything online that makes them feel uncomfortable. Students thought the presentation was informative and interesting. There were lots of new ideas for them to think about when it comes to being safe, responsible and respectful users of online spaces.
