During our tutorial session with the Grade 10 students, we focused on the theme of Online Safety as part of the Well-being Program.
Together, we explored three key takeaways: 1- Have you heard of sextortion? We discussed what sextortion is, how it occurs, and the importance of safeguarding oneself online. 2- Do you know what it means to be blackmailed? The students were guided to understand the concept of blackmail and how it relates to online interactions. 3-What would you do if someone threatened you online? Practical strategies and resources were shared to help students navigate situations involving online threats
We also watched an insightful video to highlight the importance of these issues and to reinforce the key messages of the discussion.
This discussion aimed to empower students with knowledge and tools to protect themselves in the digital world while fostering a safe and open environment for addressing concerns.
