Content Filtering and Monitoring of Digital Behaviour

Your daughter’s access to the Internet is filtered and monitored whilst on campus.

Your home Internet connection may or may not have content filtering enabled. It is the parent’s responsibility to filter internet content at home.

Education and supervision are the key to keeping children safe online. Every year the school runs information sessions for students that provide them with useful advice on Internet safety. As a parent you can learn more about this by visiting the information Parents on the Office of the eSafety Commissioner website on: esafety.gov.au/parents.
