This week, we were delighted to welcome PC Todd into our school to speak with our pupils about the very important topic of Internet Safety. The sessions were carefully tailored for different age groups, with Primary 1\u20134 and Primary 5\u20136 each taking part in engaging and informative discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For our younger learners in Primary 1\u20134, PC Todd introduced the idea that not everyone online is who they say they are. Through simple, relatable examples, the children learned how people can sometimes try to trick others into sharing personal information, such as their name, address, or school. Pupils were encouraged to remember the importance of keeping their personal details private and to always tell a trusted adult if something doesn\u2019t feel right online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Primary 5\u20136, the discussions went into more depth. Pupils explored real-life scenarios involving cyberbullying, online scams, and digital responsibility. They discussed how unkind behaviour online can affect others and the importance of thinking carefully before posting or sharing anything. PC Todd also highlighted how easily information can be misunderstood online and reminded pupils to be respectful, responsible, and kind digital citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
