Cyberbullying & Online Harassment

In recent weeks we have been responding to an increasing number of reports of cyberbullying and online harassment that has been targeted at some of our students. As a college we have been responding promptly by supporting those students impacted, upholding our high expectations in line with our Student Code of Conduct and prioritising having these accounts removed. We continue to be grateful to our wider community in supporting us to uphold these high expectations by alerting us to issues of online harassment and cyber bullying in a timely manner. 

I'd like to take this opportunity to remind our families of the importance of open conversations with your child about their online behaviours and safe practices. I have included links below to the eSafety commissioner website and the Think U Know website. These websites have a plethora of information available to inform ways to support your child as they interact with the, ever-evolving, online world.

Pedagogy Review

Throughout Term 4 our teaching team has continued on the journey of pedagogy review. Each week I have been joined by our passionate and expert teachers and leaders to review, refine and develop our pedagogical approaches as we head into 2025. We look forward to continuing this work in 2025.
