Term 1 2017
Dear
Students,
The school holidays are just around the corner. During
the break, many of you may be spending more time online playing games or
interacting with friends. As responsible
digital learners, it is important to practise the three Cyber Wellness
principles. They are:
1. Respect self and others
2. Be safe and responsible
3. Be a positive peer influence.
Have you ever encountered cyber
bullying or been cyber bullied before? Cyber bullies use hurtful and unkind
words without considering how others’ would feel.
Here are some tips to be respectful
online:
-
Think
before you post anything online (e.g. Is it true? helpful? Is it illegal? Is it
necessary? Is it kind?)
-
Be
courteous online, just like how you are courteous in real life.
You can play your part to stop cyber
bullying. If you see any cyber bullying, speak up! Ask the online bully to
remove the hurtful content. You should also save any evidence of cyber bullying
and tell a trusted adult immediately. Be a good friend and reach out and support
peers who have been bullied online. Be an
‘upstander’ by standing up for what is right!
We wish you a good school holiday.
