Tonight, we had our Wellbeing Tutorial organised by our counselor Mrs Jody and focused on Stay Safe workshop covering online harassment. Furthermore, we enjoyed our traditional Talent Show Competition organised by our Boarding Activities Team. The girls really enjoyed it !!
This afternoon, over some strawberries and cream, we started discussing if they remembered their lives when they were very young before they could actually start playing with the internet.
I also talked about my experience and we had a nice chat that led to different discussions, like, What do you most like about the internet? What do you use most? What you don’t like? and If something bad happened to them related to the internet, bullying, shaming and etc.
I t was nice to see so many different points of view and freely discuss it 🙂 Here are some things for you to reflect on before and after the internet.
Following our Pastoral Programme and as part of our Community Project for our Wellbeing Pillar 4 Online Safety, we were watching the movie You’ve got mail,1998. This film reveals the boundaries of the online relationship: no specifics, including no names, career or class information, or family connections.
Today we had our Second Virtual Parent & Teacher Meetings and we are so proud of the girls and all the positive feedback we received.
We would also like to thank our Teachers and staff from Collège du Léman, which are directly and indirectly involved in their education and wellbeing. We are sure they are on the path of Lifelong learning, the voluntary act of learning throughout life. Discover the benefits of a learning mind-set for personal and professional development and we can only thank everyone for providing them with that.
Congratulation girls, for all your efforts and dedication. We are proud of you!! This is the way to go. Go ahead, is the last stretch !!
This week in our Wellbeing Session, we have watched some videos regarding Online safety and Staying safe.
TIPS TO STAY SAFE ONLINE
There are lots of things you can do to keep yourself safe online.
Think before you post
Don’t upload or share anything you wouldn’t want your parents, carers, teachers or future employers seeing. Once you post something, you lose control of it, especially if someone else screenshots or shares it.
Don’t share personal details
Keep things like your address, phone number, full name, school and date of birth private, and check what people can see in your privacy settings. Remember that people can use small clues like a school logo in a photo to find out a lot about you.
Watch out for phishing and scams
Phishing is when someone tries to trick you into giving them information, like your password. Someone might also try to trick you by saying they can make you famous or that they’re from a talent agency. Never click links from emails or messages that ask you to log in or share your details, even if you think they might be genuine. If you’re asked to log into a website, go to the app or site directly instead.
Think about who you’re talking to
There are lots of ways that people try to trick you into trusting them online. Even if you like and trust someone you’ve met online, never share personal information with them like your address, full name, or where you go to school. Find out more about grooming.
Keep your device secure
Make sure that you’re keeping your information and device secure.
Never give out your password
You should never give out your password or log-in information. Make sure you pick strong, easy to remember passwords.
Cover your webcam
Some viruses will let someone access your webcam without you knowing, so make sure you cover your webcam whenever you’re not using it.
