Tonight we brought Pillar 4 to a close, with a stay safe workshop aimed at the informing the Boys of the dangers of online texting, and the risks of sharing pictures of ourselves online.

There was shared input from all the Houses to create the Video, with pupils giving their perspectives on the dangers of the online world. Mrs Jody from the counselling department created the video, and afterwards we looked at a quiz, opening our eyes to many of the laws attached to online content,  I think we all agreed, we were unaware some of these laws even existed. 

The Boys were given a reality check on some of the stats from teenagers, and how the expectations many “believe” others have to send pictures of themselves online.

These meetings with the Grade 12 are precious, as they will soon be leaving and moving onto their new lives at university. These Well-being sessions work not only as a tool for the boys here at CDL, but also help prepare and give them methods and means to cope and be prepared for the independence that awaits them in a few short months……..
