As students go through secondary school there is a difficult balance that needs to be found between totally controlling each young person’s use of the internet whilst enabling them to develop the personal skills and discipline needed to be a safe and efficient user of the internet. We aim to educate students on safe and effective use of the internet so they can safely incorporate it into their lives. There is a wealth of information and support for students and parents, some of which can be found by using the links below:
