This week our PBL focus is CYBER SAFETY.
Cyber Safety is becoming more and more of a concern in our society. As we get older, we are using the Internet and other communications software and devices more frequently and so we need to be aware not only of the benefits these technologies provide but also the dangers that come with them. With so many devices now connecting us to others, we need to make sure that we are protecting our own privacy and safety and respecting that of others.
Check out these great websites and YouTube videos to learn more about Cyber Safety and 'netiquette'.

This week we will also take part in Virtual Classroom activity for "Safer Internet Day 2016 (Australian Catholic Schools) - Play your part for a better Internet!"
The 2016 Safer Internet Day Virtual Classroom will immerse students into the hype and excitement of Cherrybrook Primary School’s inaugural X-Factor competition! We will help the aspiring performers to make wise and respectful choices on social media as they upload, post, share and comment on acts in preparation for the Grand Final.
The presentation will assist us to:
• understand the possible consequences of posting images
• be a good bystander
• communicate online respectfully
• understand how to report inappropriate material and contact
Talk to your parents about the these points after Tuesday's presentation.
