Cyber Safety for all ages a success across the Shire

4/7/2018

Over the past three weeks the Dumbleyung Police have been busy presenting Cyber Safety sessions cross the Shire. After initial discussions between the CRC and the Dumbleyung Police, both Kukerin and Dumbleyung Primary Schools have held Cyber Safety Sessions for parents and students (in Kukerin only). Over 25 people have participated in the sessions with a final student session to be held for Dumbleyung students in Term 3.

The sessions included a variety of topics including - Cyber Safety Lingo, Cyber Bulling, Social Media, Online Gaming, Passwords and Online Grooming. Sergeant Alby Van Den Berg facilitated the discussions and asked participants to decode social media lingo. Do you know what the following abbreviations mean? BAE, FOMO, WYD and LOL. Whilst also sharing interesting facts e.g. Did you know the average online gamer in Australia is 34 years of age?

Alby concluding the sessions with the key message - be safe, respectful and responsible when online. If you have FOMO (fear of missing out) and couldn’t attend any of the sessions, but wished you could then please contact the Dumbleyung CRC (admin@dumbleyungcrc.com), Dumbleyung Police (email Sergeant Van Den Berg on alby.vandenberg@police.wa.gov.au) or for more information parents can also visit www.thinkyouknow.org.au or www.esafety.gov.au.
