We use ICT resources at Weetangera Primary School to support learning across the curriculum.
When it comes to using ICT, we ensure that students understand their responsibilities according to the Communities Online: Acceptable Use of ICT - Parents and Students Policy. We teach students about staying safe online, how to find accurate and reliable information, and how they can be respectful and productive while using technology.
Because technology changes so much from day to day, it is important that all of us stay up to date, and know what our children and our students are doing. Please see below for links to some great resources for parents to understand internet safety, social media and gaming and how young people interact with these technologies.

Think U Know is a n education program led by the Australian Federal Police. Their site also includes lots of information to help parents and young people to stay safe online.
