February 07 2017 is Safer Internet Day, a day that is very important to our school and pupils. Safer Internet Day is coordinated by the Insafe Network and is celebrated every year across Europe, and in other countries worldwide. In the UK, Safer Internet Day is organised by the UK Safer Internet Centre (www.saferinternetday.org.uk), and this year’s theme is “Be the change: Unite for a better internet.”
Our school is participating alongside hundreds of other schools across the UK and students will be learning about how to use the internet safely and positively. To celebrate the many positives of the internet and to raise awareness of the issues that children and young people face online today, we as a school will be participating in class activities on Safer Internet Day. We are also hosting an online safety information evening for our P6 and 7 children along with their parents on Wednesday 08 Wednesday 2017.
We believe that internet safety education is a crucial element of the curriculum and an essential part of young people’s development.
Safer Internet Day is designed to help you become more aware of the safety messages that your children receive in school in order to reinforce them in your home environment. Please find attached the Safer Internet Day Factsheet for Parents. You can also find out more about what is happening in the UK on Safer Internet Day at www.saferinternet.org.uk/safer-internet-day.
