Cranbourne North’s Tulliallan Primary School is proud to announce they are now officially an eSmart school, an initiative aimed at tackling cyber bullying.
The program, developed by the Alannah and Madeline Foundation, allows students to feel safer and more supported at school.
Tulliallan Primary School principal Kathy Sharp said fulfilling the requirements of the eSmart framework was a process that took time and commitment.
“After completing the planning and implementation phases, gathering evidence and evaluating the effectiveness of their processes and approaches to eSafety along the way, Tulliallan is now in the sustaining phase of the framework,” she said.
“Tulliallan Primary School will continue to promote and model the safe use of digital technologies to ensure all students have the skills to strive in an ever-evolving 21st century world.”
The school’s Digital Technologies Curriculum Leader Danielle Ryan said they were proud of the work of all students and staff in promoting and showcasing the safe use of digital technologies across the school.
“We immerse our students in multi-modal learning to encourage the integration of digital technologies working in conjunction with other learning tools, exposing students to a range of digitally enhanced learning programs including digital communications, cyber safety, coding and website design,” he said.
Digital Technology captain Riley Berkelmans said: “At Tulliallan we are lucky to have laptops and iPads and we always use them safely,”
Digital Technology captain Dhir Johsi said “We have the opportunity to have Media and Robotics classes to help us understand what happens behind the screens and learn in hands on ways.”
