Aims & approach

Each term, classes tune in to an interactive and engaging live stream incursion.

  • Students in the Foundation and Year 1-2 programs will be immersed in music and movement to bring the session to life.
  • Students in Years 3-4 and 5-6 will utilise a real time quizzing platform (Kahoot) to ensure the session is interactive and gamified.
  • Topics covered include: Healthy Digital Habits, Critical Thinking, Digital Citizenship, Cyberbullying, Digital Literacy, Safety and Security, Consent and Upstanders.
  • The Teacher Toolkit provides ongoing learning beyond the incursion with access to a comprehensive collection of resources including: classroom posters, writing templates, classroom user agreements and coding lessons.

Sessions are tailored for specific age groups and content is created in alignment with eSafety Best Practices Framework, Australian/State Curriculums and Child Safe Standards. The scope and sequence is designed with an odd and even year focus so that schools can engage with the program over consecutive years.

Implementation support

  • Implementation training webinars or modules
  • Ongoing helpdesk, email or phone support
