​​​​​​​​​​​​​Cybersafety in Queensland Schools
The Queensland Department of Education is committed to ensuring every student in state schools can learn and engage safely in an increasingly digital world. As access to technology grows, the department offers guidance and support to schools, students, parents, and communities to help young people stay safe online. A dedicated cybersafety booklet has also been developed to help parents guide their children through safe and responsible online behaviour.

Cybersafety in the Curriculum
Cybersafety is embedded throughout Version 9 of the Australian Curriculum, particularly within the learning areas of Health and Physical Education, Digital Technologies, and Media Arts. The curriculum focuses on building students’ digital literacy, equipping them with the skills to manage online safety, recognise digital risks, and make responsible decisions in online environments. Educators are supported to weave these important skills into teaching practices across year levels, preparing students to navigate an increasingly connected world.

Support for Parents and Carers
Parents and carers play a vital role in supporting online safety at home. Government-endorsed programs like ThinkUKnow, delivered through a partnership between the Queensland Police Service and the Australian Federal Police, provide interactive training on internet safety for both adults and children. At Nundah State School, we run annual parent sessions to further support our school community, including presentations from ThinkUKnow and in-house workshops on topics such as screen time. Additional resources from the Australian Cyber Security Centre and Children’s Health Queensland offer practical tips for protecting children online, monitoring digital activity, and encouraging open, supportive conversations about technology use.
