The New Strategies in eSafety: School Leadership Policies & Practices Symposium, set for June 10th at CQUniversity Brisbane, caters to Principals, Deputy Principals, and School Leaders, including P&C Executives, School Council Members, and Heads of Year 5/6/7/8. Centred on new research on students aged 10 to 13 years old, sessions present new evidence on students’ eSafety experiences and how they address them, parents' experiences guiding the eSafety of this age group, and what this means for policy development and policy actions. 

With a focus on the Queensland Department of Education Equity & Excellence framework, discussions will explore aligning this latest eSafety evidence with the framework. The agenda will discuss findings and frame them within school interests, including communication strategies with parents. Participants are encouraged to bring a current school eSafety policy and will have an opportunity to refine their existing policy and outline future actions to enhance digital safety in their schools.

The symposium is presented is funded by the eSafety Commissioner and presented by the Digital Empowerment Team: Dr Joanne Orlando (Western Sydney University), Associate Professor Michael Cowling (Central Queensland University) and Associate Professor Kwong Nui Sim ((Sydney Int. School of Technology & Commerce). Lunch and morning tea provided free of charge.
