Year 9 had Senior Constable Robert Macfarlane visit our students for an engaging seminar, providing valuable insights into online safety. Here is a student reflection from Chiara S (Year 9) about the seminar:
Last week, Year 9 students had the privilege of Senior Constable Robert Macfarlane educating us about the importance of healthy and safe relationships. Through an engaging presentation the Officer discussed with us the risks of relationships online, ensure we are not cyberbullying peers, nor adding people we don't know, sending inappropriate images or giving strangers personal information online. Senior Constable Macfarlane also talked about how relationships can affect our well-being positively and negatively. He gave us some valuable resources on where to get help if we don't feel safe in a relationship. In concluding his presentation, the Officer helped us understand the importance of showing sympathy and empathy in relationships. Overall the presentation was productive for year 9 students, there was a lot of beneficial information to take away.
