Digital Citizenship

The NSW Department of Education aims to empower school communities with the skills and knowledge to learn, connect, have fun and be safe online.

To encourage good digital citizenship, we:

support teachers to model best practices
advise parents and carers on how to support families online
encourage students to be responsible and positive contributors to a healthy digital society.
