Stage 4

This two-hour workshop supports students to use digital devices in safe, responsible and respectful ways. It has been created alongside the NSW Education Digital Device Policy. It draws on existing resources and knowledge to create hands-on, discussion-based activities that culminate in an activity that benefits the whole school community. Stage 4 workshops focus on empathy building and support peers when online.
