Digital Citizenship Plan 2025-26

Every year we create a Digital Citizenship Plan as a school.  We try to fit it with the work we are already doing.  A link to GW's plan, where we pick 3 Digital Citizenships Competencies to focus on as school can be found on our website. The 3 competencies we will continue to focus on are: 

Balanced - 

  • I balance time online and offline to promote positive mental, emotional and physical well-being
  • understand appropriate times and situations to use technology

Respectful -

  • I am respectful and inclusive in my words and actions
  • I am open to multiple viewpoints and perspectives
  • I am empathetic towards others

Informed -
