Safer Internet day is 10th February 2026. We have some activities planned for our students in school over the months of February and March to help highlight safe and responsible use of the internet.
As part of our activities to mark this event we would like to help you as parents too. We will send you links to resources and tips on how you can help your child navigate the online world safely. We hope to direct you to resources you may find useful.
Our 1st-3rd year students have all taken part in online safety workshops delivered by a member of the Barnardos team. Barnardos have a parent section on their website which includes links to talks that take place online each month.
