The eSafety for Kids education package is a whole-school approach to eSafety (cyber safety). Containing six lesson plans, a Take-It-Home Resource Pack for parents, School Facilitation Guide, supporting factsheets and online course. It provides all a school and parent/caregivers need to ensure kids are getting age-appropriate, consistent guidance on how to stay safe online.
Access the School Facilitation Guide to learn how to create a whole-school approach to eSafety and get your wider community on board.
Including an email template to parents, guidance on how to run the all-important information session (complete with slides) and advice for teachers and school leaders, this School Facilitation Guide will take the stress out of teaching eSafety in-house. It can even provide a great supplement to externally delivered programs or professional learning for teachers and teach you what to look out for.
You can also refer to and share these scenario support factsheets, designed to support you to support your kids - Scenario Support Factsheets
Consider sharing this program with other parents in your school to get a bit of momentum going and send a letter to your school Principal to get your school involved. You can also look at the Take It Home Resource Pack and explore some further reading. The most important thing you can do for your child is be informed! Even if your school doesn’t decide to use this education package, you can still help your child with the resources.

The eSafety for Kids education package was developed in consultation with a team of experts, including a child and adolescent psychologist, education specialist, teachers, parents and in reference to the latest research and guidelines (at time of publication). It is designed to align with the recommendations in the Best Practice Framework for Online Safety Education (eSafety Commissioner).
Aligned with the Australian curriculum, The Tweeting Galah cyber safety children’s book series offers a unique and entertaining approach to teaching primary-aged children how to navigate the online world safely and healthily. The four books in the series are vibrantly illustrated and include reflection questions at the end to guide classroom discussion. Augmented reality experiences are embedded within the books, offering a simple and safe technological experience without complicated preparation. The Tweeting Galah series is written by West Australian author Kim Maslin and illustrated by John Field. The Tweeting Galah series is available in both print and eBook format.
