On Tuesday 6th June, the Year 8 students from both Melton and Werribee campuses came together to hear from Project Rockit, a youth organisation that speaks to young people about bullying/cyber bullying, empathy and resilience.
The workshop empowered our students to take charge of the challenges and possibilities of their interactions with others in person and in the online world, and students came away with a toolkit of strategies to lead safe and healthy digital lives, and to navigate harmful online experiences.
Students increased their awareness of the impact of their own online communications and wider behaviours on those around them. They were encouraged towards creating more positive and empathetic changes with their peers and their year level.
It was a fantastic day to see the students engaged and interacting with the presenters, as well as getting to know each other across the campuses.
