Our Mission

Creating digitally literate and cyber safe communities!

To achieve this, the team at the Cyber Safety Project have developed a National Cyber Safety Curriculum Program for Australian schools linked to current national and state curriculum frameworks. Our aim is to design and deliver engaging learning experiences for students, teachers and the wider community focused on developing future skills, lifelong habits and self-regulation when using digital technologies for work, life and play. 

Keeping children safe online

It takes a village to raise a child!

​To ensure that we support and empower ALL Australian students to be safe and responsible users of digital technologies both at home and school, we must arm ALL teachers, parents and the wider community with digital literacy skills and resources.
​
The Cyber Safety Project teams with school communities to ensure all school leaders, teachers and parents are kept up-to-date with the latest trending digital topics. We must provide space and time to learn and understand the way students can connect and interact through digital platforms, devices, sites, apps and gaming networks.

School Based Programs

Our school based programs aim to provide opportunities for teachers to stay up-to-date with the latest information as well as provide resources and curriculum linked to the National Curriculum. The core outcomes of our program include:

• ​Teachers know relevant digital citizenship elements of the digital technologies curriculum, ethical and social responsibilities
• Teachers are aware of and understand current digital literacies and trends impacting on young people in their care
• Teachers are able to design learning to achieve the cyber/digital technologies outcomes for students​
