This session covers all things digital, from how to be a good digital citizen, the criminal consequences of cyberbullying, and how to report and receive support in cases of sexting/sextortion.
Some of the most prominent concerns currently surrounding use of social media platforms, smartphones, and artificial intelligence will be discussed.
Families will learn:
- Digital media habits, oversharing, and digital addiction
- The permanence of online posts/activity
- The significance of your digital tattoo in how others perceive you (e.g., sports teams, college admissions, and potential employers)
- The importance of caring for peers both online and offline
- Geo-locational settings and the dangers of social media and cell phone misuse
- The social and legal consequences of cyberbullying behaviour as well as possession and distribution of intimate images (sexting and sextortion)
- An anonymous student reporting tool that can help you and your friends stay safe both online and offline
Leadership Students came together and worked on team building, cooperative activities and getting to know one another at the school district's Pat O'Reilly Outdoor Education and Environment Camp, located at Gwillim Lake.
Students learned about Fire Safety with the Dawson Creek Fire Department sharing tips and best practices, as well as having students check out the Fire Engine!
Students raised money for the Terry Fox Foundation by collecting donations for their efforts and contributing a loonie or twoonie to soak the teachers on run day!
The school community raised a total of $4660.00, far exceeding our $3000.00 goal! This meant Mr. Henry dressed in a silly costume for an entire day!
