Welcome to 2025

With the start of a new school year, our Year 7 and 10 cohorts received new devices. This is a crucial time to establish safe digital habits, discuss risks, inappropriate content and appropriate navigation of the online world. Ben Johnson from Brett Lee Internet Safe Education presented to all year levels, including a parent information session prior to the collection of Year 7 devices.

We are pleased to advise that our college community now has access to a 24hr Cyber Safety Hub provided by Internet Safe Education (ISE) who is a Trusted Provider with the Office of the eSafety Commissioner. What does this mean for you and your family?

You will have exclusive access to all the support, resources, and education you will need to raise your child in the online world and create a safe, fun, educated and productive family. The HUB is available to you on any device and applies to school aged children of all ages. This comes at no cost to you as a member of our community.

The Cyber Safety Hub is the only one of its kind in Australia and is designed to provide all you need and nothing you do not.
