At Kambrya College we value the online safety of our students and have programs and policies in place to address issues of cyber-bullying and harassment. Australian students live in a digital world. Whilst this world is an amazing source of entertainment, information and connections, they need to learn how to avoid the dangers of its misuse. Parents and students will find a wealth of valuable online resources and advice to support the avoidance of such misuse. Links to some of these sites can be found below.

During Homegroup time, students undergo a series of Cybersafety lessons based on advice and resources from the Office of the eSafety Commissioner.
This website is of fantastic benefit to parents, guardians and children too.
