(4) Due to the complexity of timetabling secondary schools directly contact the Office of the E-Safety Commissioner to organise specific sessions and times.
(5) As part of the election commitment to deliver devices to secondary students, the Government also undertook to work with experts and develop e-safety tools, parent factsheets and policy guidelines to ensure students are safe online.
The ACT Education Directorate has partnered with the Office of the E-Safety Commissioner to deliver cybersafety programs to ACT schools and there are complementary resources on their website available for follow-up classroom activities. This site is also a good resource for parents looking to extend these skills and strategies into the home environment.
Cyber-safety is included explicitly in the Australian Curriculum in learning areas of Health and Physical Education, and Humanities and Social Sciences, but is predominantly dealt with in the information and Communications Technology (ICT) Capability, one of the seven general capabilities of the Australian Curriculum that is addressed through the content of learning areas. Students’ ICT Capability is developed systematically across learning areas in ACT public schools, in ways similar to Literacy and Numeracy capability development.
In developing and acting with ICT capability, students:
- Apply social and ethical protocols and practices when using ICT
- Use ICT tools safely to communicate, collaborate, share and exchange information
- Understand computer mediated communication.
