2024 TIMETABLE

HAVE A QUESTION?

Our incursions inform and empower learners to be more aware, clever, kind and brave online citizens.

These four keystones underpin all of our teaching and learning.

Content

I found this Cyber Safety Webinar quite captivating! I really enjoyed learning about the different keys and tips about how they are able to keep you engaged in apps!

I learnt about the infinite scroll and algorithm as well as how it purposely suggests videos and apps for a perfect fit for you. Things like Snap Streaks and notifications were quite fascinating to think about how they can remind you to get onto the app everyday and make sure you don't miss out on a day!

I think having a balanced "diet" of screen time and green time is
a great way to look at it as well as reminding ourselves that
what we post online is permanent and possibly public.

1/2

Join Ollie, Marty & their new friend Ruby as they begin their online adventures. Whilst Ollie loves his iPad and gaming we are quick to discover that he has a lot to learn...just like our Year 1/2 students!

3/4

Animations and augmented reality help tell the story of our young adventurers online. Each character we meet encounters a new challenge with so much to help inform and empower our Year 3/4 students.

5/6

Immersed in realistic scenarios, students in Year 5/6 are challenged to reflect more deeply about their online experiences. Preparing them to thrive in an online world involves being aware. clever, brave and kind.

Foundation

In their first year of school, students are introduced to Ollie & Marty through a series of short videos. We cover the basics of getting started with devices and getting online.

Here is a snapshot of the 2023 Term 1 incursion. This focused on what the internet is, early warning signs (when we feel uncomfortable online) and help-seeking.

Years 3/4

Here is a snapshot of the 2023 Term 2 incursion. The focus was healthy digital habits, including how different tech can make us feel as well as balancing our screen time with green time.

The student, staff and parent sessions run by INFORM & EMPOWER are fabulous. The content is developmentally appropriate and engaging. You can tell Marty comes from an educational background, because no one could keep our students engaged for as long as he did without some tricks up his sleeve.

I would highly recommend INFORM & EMPOWER.
