Last week, Mr Vasington delivered a thought-provoking presentation to our Year 9 students, shedding light on the influence of social media in today's society. Mr Vasington discussed both the positive and negative effects of social media, highlighting the significance of using these platforms responsibly and ensuring online safety. Social media is a part of our daily lives, but learning how to use it appropriately and respectfully is crucial.
One student, shared their perspective on Mr Vasington's presentation:
Last week, Mr Vasington gave a presentation to Year 9 students about the positive and negative effects of social media has on today's society. Mr Vasington’s presentation was entertaining and it taught us how to use social media respectfully and safely. We looked at screen time as well as the risks of social media, which include catfishing, scamming, and cyberbullying. Mr Vasington also mentioned if someone unknown adds you, you should remove and block them. Mr Vasington’s presentation was engaging and fun, and I think students have learnt about how to remain digitally safe. - Cruise V (Year 9)
