Safer Internet Day

Safer Internet Day is an annual global initiative that promotes the safe, responsible, and positive use of online technology and mobile devices among children and young people.

Theme for Safer Internet Day 2026

Practise Healthy Digital Habits Together

The national theme highlights the importance of building healthy digital habits as a community. Students will be guided to practise the following four healthy digital habits:

  • Set boundaries to manage screen use and online interactions

  • Think before you act to safeguard their digital footprint

  • Report inappropriate content to keep themselves and others safe

  • Engage a trusted person and seek support proactively

These habits help students develop self-control, responsibility, and care for others in the digital space.

Partnering Parents

Parents play an important role in guiding children’s digital habits. Families are encouraged to have open conversations at home about screen use, online behaviour, and seeking help when something online feels uncomfortable. Working together, we can support our students in becoming safe, responsible, and confident digital users.
