Keeping Safe Online
Welcome to the Digital Dragon's online safety page!
Safer Internet Day 2024!
The theme of this year's Safer Internet Day was - 'inspiring change? Making a difference, managing influence and navigating change online', and was held on Tuesday February 6th. This year the Digital Dragons enjoyed hosting a whole school assembly. This assembly gave us a chance as a school to reflect on all the passive changes and influences that may emerge from new technology and the internet, whilst crucially discussing key strategies that we can use to stay safe online when navigating this change. Each year group then undertook a variety of engaging lessons to help teach them further about how to keep safe when online or utilising technology.
