Vision and Mission
Engaged learners in a community through the purposeful use of technology
Our Purpose
The ICT Department spearheads the purposeful integration of technology into the curriculum to nurture engaged, future-ready learners and responsible digital citizens.
Developing E21CC
Technology-enabled learning provides students with opportunities to develop Emerging 21st Century Competencies (E21CC), including critical and inventive thinking, communication, collaboration and adaptability.
Developing DLTS
Digital Literacy and Technological Skills (DLTS) are developed across the curriculum through learning experiences facilitated by subject teachers.
Students learn to use technology confidently, critically, creatively and responsibly to access information, collaborate, create and solve problems.
Values and Digital Citizenship
The six core values of the 21CC framework—Respect, Responsibility, Resilience, Integrity, Care and Harmony—guide students in using technology safely, ethically and responsibly.
Developing our Cyber Smart Cedarians
Cyber-Smart Cedarians use technology safely, responsibly and discerningly. They protect themselves and others online, make informed choices and contribute positively to the digital community.
Sense
The first step in inculcating these principles is to create cyber awareness among the students. Students should be able to “sense” the risks of harmful behaviours online and learn how to manage such risks as well as protect themselves from the dangers.
Think
To develop students’ ability to respond to new encounters in cyberspace, it is important to provide opportunities for students to analyse, evaluate and reflect on cyber wellness issues.
Act
Students should eventually translate their understanding into actions that will keep them safe while online.
Internet Safety Pledge
We, the students of Cedar Primary School,
pledge ourselves to be safe online.
Regardless of changing technologies and evolving issues,
we promise to be responsible and kind digital citizens.
So as to achieve cyber wellness
and become Cybersmart Cedarians.
Traits of a Cybersmart Cedarian
I will not give out personal information such as my address, telephone number or the name and location of my school without my parents' permission.
I will tell my parents right away if I come across any information or content that makes me feel uncomfortable.
I will never agree to get together with someone that I meet online without first checking with my parents.
I will not respond to any messages that are mean or that in any way make me feel uncomfortable. If I receive a message like that, I will tell my parents or teachers right away.
I will be courteous and kind to others while communicating online.
I will stand against cyberbullying and help others by reporting the incident to my teachers or parents.
I will maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle between the physical and cyber world. For my own well-being, if I sense any risks of harmful behaviours online, I will think carefully, make well-considered decisions and act responsibly in the cyber space.
