We at St. Mary's are very aware of the potential risks involved when the children are using the Internet. We feel very strongly that the Internet is an excellent resource for learning but we recognise the need to educate children and adults on how to stay safe online. We promote the use of SMART rules in the classrooms and encourage the children to be mindful when working online. We seek to educate parents also, through information sessions, leaflets and links on our website. In this way, we aim to get the best out of the Internet whilst protecting our children.
