Safer Internet Day 2026
In addition to commemorating the feast of St. Paul’s Shipwreck in Malta on February 10th, Malta also joins nations worldwide in observing Safer Internet Day. Last week, our primary students got the chance to engage themselves in discussion about the dangers that the internet may pose during the ICT lessons. It was said that the internet is a tool that could be used for good and bad and that is why the girls have to be aware of the potential harm they could encounter.
Through storytelling, the Grade 1 and 2 students talked about the fact that young children should never use the internet unsupervised, should never click on links they are not familiar with and should never give personal information to strangers online; the Grade 3 students were made aware that every online click contributed to their digital footprint and that it is always crucial to leave a positive one; students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 learned about cyberbullying through stories, presentations, and videos, and learnt that they should never befriend strangers online, block and report anyone displaying misconduct, and refrain from sharing inappropriate content if they come across it. The activities were prepared by Ms Cristina Spiteri, ICT teacher.
As part of the PSCD lesson and to commemorate Internet Safety Day, the Grade 4 girls have been busy learning about staying safe online. The students had the opportunity to discuss the benefits of using the internet but also to investigate how to make safety choices when going online. Through their expression of art, they afterwards had the chance to create their own designs to express what they had just learned on internet safety. Both activities were organised and led by Ms Elaine Azzopardi, with the assistance of Ms Bridget Cumbo.
