Wondall Heights State School
Online Safety
Safe. Kind. Responsible. Connected.
Learning to make good choices online is an important life skill. We work with students and families to build respectful digital habits, protect personal information and know when to ask for help.
Worried about something that happened online?
Tell a trusted adult. You do not have to deal with it on your own. Parents and carers can also contact their child's classroom teacher or the school office for support.
If something goes wrong online
These five simple steps can help students and families respond to online bullying, hurtful messages or other worrying experiences.

Don't reply to hurtful messages or posts.
STEP 02
Save
Keep evidence such as screenshots, usernames, dates and links.
STEP 03
Block & report
Use the app or game's block and report features.
STEP 04

Talk with a trusted adult, parent or teacher.
STEP 05
Get help
Ask for further support if the behaviour continues or is serious.
Our online safety essentials
Every student can practise these habits at school, at home and when gaming with friends.
