Staying safe online

IGS Primary School students are being reminded of ways to stay safe online.

Primary school students recently participated in Safer Internet Day run by Mrs Haynes, learning about how to keep themselves and others safe online.

Three children in school uniforms stand side by side, each holding a colourful poster with handwritten advice on staying safe online and drawings labelled Ask A Kid. Black-and-white classroom photos are displayed on the wall behind them.

The children learnt the acronym YAPPY to remember some golden rules of what details to not share about themselves on the internet. 

Y – your full name 
A – address 
P – phone number 
P – passwords 
Y – your plans and birthday
