Safer Internet Week

Safer Internet Week is an annual event that promotes responsible and respectful online behaviour, aligned with the objectives of Safer Internet Day—to empower students to use technology safely, critically, and positively.

This year, the week featured engaging assembly talks on online safety, digital etiquette, and protecting personal data. Recess activities, supported by our Parents in Action (PiA), included a Cyber Safe Scavenger Hunt and Online Safety Connect Four, giving students fun, interactive ways to reinforce safe online practices. Pupils also consolidated their learning through SLS games.

Through these activities, we aim to equip students with the knowledge and skills to navigate the digital world safely and responsibly.

Be Cyber-Bully Proof

Be Cyber-Bully Proof is an annual event that raises awareness about cyberbullying and promotes a culture of kindness and respect online.

The week begins with an assembly talk on recognising, responding to, and preventing cyberbullying. This is followed by recess activities planned and led by our student leaders, empowering them to engage their peers in interactive games and discussions on standing up against cyberbullying and fostering a supportive online community.

Through these initiatives, we encourage students to be proactive in promoting a safe and inclusive online environment, empowering them to support one another and take a stand against cyberbullying.

Student-Initiated Learning

Student-Initiated Learning (SIL) provides protected time for students to explore topics of personal interest, fostering curiosity and independent learning. The five key areas of SIL follow the STARS framework:

This initiative encourages self-directed learning by allowing students to pursue topics they are passionate about. Through exploration and inquiry, they develop critical thinking and research skills while deepening their understanding of subjects beyond the curriculum. By nurturing curiosity and independence, SIL cultivates a love for lifelong learning and empowers students to take ownership of their educational journey.
