KNOW THE SIGNS
The Feelings Check
Sometimes things online can make us feel okay, unsure or unsafe. Learning to notice these feelings helps us know when to ask for help.

A message feels confusing, someone asks me to keep an online secret, something feels a bit strange.

DIGITAL FOOTPRINT
Think Before You Click
1
Everything you post online can be seen and shared by others, even in a private chat.
2
It can be very hard to delete something completely once it has been posted or sent.
3
Always ask a friend before sharing a photo or video of them.
4
Before you post, think: would I be happy for my family or teacher to see this?
Never use an app or filter to create or change a photo or video of a teacher, staff member or classmate. This is never allowed, even as a joke.
