How to be smart and safe on social media
Use our new Digital Citizenship toolkit to empower your child to understand how their online behaviour affects themselves and others.
You and your child can find information on:
how to ‘be positive’ by understanding online behaviour and its effect
‘be smart’ by thinking critically and being digitally aware
‘be safe’ by protecting your security, privacy and wellbeing.
A toolkit to empower you and your child
You can find articles and videos to equip and empower your child to minimise the risks and maximise the opportunities in our digital future.
We’ve partnered with leading researchers to produce a curated toolkit – aligned to the curriculum – which teachers and you can share with the young people in your lives.
Guide your child through important concepts such as:
managing privacy settings in social media
collaborating online
avoiding scams and hoaxes
understanding the law when it comes to online speech
Internet banking, shopping online and much more.
Keep your child safe and happy online
Visit and bookmark the Digital Citizenship website.

Book yourself in for Reading Hour
This Australian Reading Hour, encourage your child to discover or rekindle their love of a good book. Take the time to learn, escape and relax on Thursday 19 September and read for one hour.
Reading has been shown to reduce stress by 68% more than listening to music, going for a walk, or having a cup of tea.
Take the Book Swap Challenge
We all have favourite books that we come back to again and again.
To help celebrate Reading Hour take our Book Swap Challenge. We want students, teachers, staff and parents to try reading something new on the day. To get involved, simply pair up with someone and swap your favourite books.
Take a photo and tag it with #ReadingHour so we can see how you got involved.
