As part of Safer Internet Day, our TY students conducted a digital safety lesson for some first-year students using Minecraft for Education. During the lesson, students gained knowledge about identity theft, password protection, and cyberbullying through a virtual world in Minecraft.

Such initiatives help to raise awareness about internet safety and the risks we face online. Well done to the TY students and a big thank you to Ms. Heffernan for organizing the lesson.

As today is Safer Internet Day, we want to spread awareness about the dangers of sharing your personal information online and the steps you can take to protect your digital identity.

Cyberbullying, identity theft, phishing scams, and information misuse are just a few examples of the dangers we face. It's crucial to stay vigilant and to take control of our privacy by using strong passwords, securing our social media accounts, enabling two-step verification, and limiting the sharing of sensitive information.

Share this message with your friends and family, and let's work together to protect our privacy and security.
