Online Safety - Cyber Safety

Wondall Heights State School is committed to helping students be safe, respectful and responsible online. Our school has policies that address online safety and cyberbullying. If concerns arise, please contact your child’s classroom teacher or the school office.

​If something goes wrong online (students & parents)

1. Stop – don’t reply to hurtful messages or posts.

2. Collect evidence – take screenshots and note usernames, dates and links.

3. Block and report in-app – use the platform’s report tools.

4. Tell an adult – speak with a parent/carer and your classroom teacher.

5. Get further help – if it continues or is serious:
