The web is a great place to learn, be creative and stay connected, but with one in five young Australians found to be victims of cyberbullying each year, and the many other challenges young people face online, it’s important that we invest in giving our students the skills they need to be responsible digital citizens. eSmart assists schools and communities to achieve this.

At St Columbkille’s we are an accredited eSmart school. This means we have a collaborative approach to digital inclusion, digital literacy and cybersafety, bringing together government, industry, schools, libraries, families, organisations and most importantly, you, our eSmart community.

During National eSmart Week, September 5 to 11, we will be participating in various classroom based activities that investigate and emphasize how to be smart, safe and responsible with digital technology.  We encourage you to explore being smart, safe and responsible with digital technologies at home.  You may find the following sites helpful.
