The digital world is constantly evolving — and effective cyber-safety education must evolve with it.
That’s why we’ve updated our Screen Name cyber-safety incursion for upper primary school students to reflect new Australian social media legislation and emerging online risks affecting children.
Screen Name is a 45-minute live, two-actor performance designed specifically for Years 4-6. Using relatable scenarios from the world of online gaming and social media, the program explores real online safety challenges in an engaging, age-appropriate and curriculum-aligned format.
Supporting Schools After Australia’s Social Media Ban
In December last year, the Australian Government introduced a ban on social media access for children under 16 to help protect young people from online harm and social pressure.
As schools and families adjust to these changes, it’s critical that students understand:
- What online risks look like in gaming and social media environments
- How to respond to cyberbullying, online grooming or unsafe contact
- Why reporting unsafe behaviour is always the right choice
While we do not encourage primary-aged students to use social media, we recognise that some may still access these platforms. Our updated cyber-safety incursion ensures students are equipped with practical strategies to stay safe, regardless of their online experience.
Encouraging Help-Seeking and Safe Reporting
One of the biggest barriers to online safety is fear. Many students worry about:
- Losing access to devices
- Getting in trouble for breaking rules
- Being reprimanded for using restricted platforms
Screen Name directly addresses this concern. The program clearly reinforces that student safety comes first. Children are reassured they will not get in trouble for reporting something harmful, uncomfortable or unsafe online.
We strongly emphasise the importance of speaking to a trusted adult, such as a teacher, parent or caregiver, if something doesn’t feel right.
