Safer Internet Day calls upon people to join together to make the Internet a safer and better place for all, and especially for children and young people. The aim of the day is to encourage people to join the movement, to participate, and to make the most of the Internet's potential to bring people together.
With a global, community-led approach, Safer Internet Day encourages everyone to come together and play their part. There are many ways to do this; click on the links below to find out more about practical ways in which you can get involved. Whether you are a young person, a parent or a carer, everyone has a role to play in creating and maintaining a better online world:
As part of our initiative to create a safer Internet and raise awareness of Safer Internet Day 2021, we are launching a ‘Think Before You Post” poster competition.
This competition is open to all year groups, and we invite our students to create a poster that can be used to promote Internet safety, which will be used by the school in social media posts and future campaigns.
If you would like to enter your poster into the "Think Before You Post" competition, please email Miss Carey with your entry: (Anna.carey@bisad.ae). The closing date for the competition is Sunday, 21st Februrary 2021.
I was really touched by Áine’s newsletter piece last week, posing the question: ‘What would I tell my younger self?’
I spent some time afterwards thinking about my own parenting journey, and what it’s all been about, now that my two are adults and have ‘flown the nest’. Parenting isn’t easy for any of us, and that’s true even if you’re an experienced school leader – at home, I’m just Dad.
You might have seen the trend going around - “If I could tell my younger self one thing…” - a moment to reflect, to offer advice we wish we’d heard earlier, or to remind ourselves of what truly matters.
As students prepare to cross some of the biggest milestones in school life, it feels like the perfect time to pause and join in that conversation. But it’s not just our students who are preparing — so are we, as parents. These milestones don’t just belong to them. We’re living every part of it too: the anticipation, the pride, the nerves, and the quiet hopes. Sometimes, it’s the hardest thing in the world — to watch them take these big steps, to stay strong when they wobble, to let go just a little more. It’s a milestone for us as much as it is for them — and we’re walking it together.
