Year 9 students had the unique opportunity to hear from actress, author, and child protection advocate Madeleine West on the critical topic of social media safety. Drawing from her remarkable life journey—beginning her acting career at 16, raising six children, and excelling in three careers—Madeleine delivered a compelling session filled with valuable insights and eye-opening truths about the digital world.
As an educator with Safe on Social, Madeleine covered key topics such as:
• Online safety and the risks of social media misuse.
• New laws affecting everyday digital interactions.
• Social media license agreements and what users often overlook.
• Managing group chats responsibly.
• Understanding the lasting impact of your digital footprint.
Through her engaging and relatable presentation, Madeleine equipped our students with the knowledge and tools to navigate social media responsibly and with greater awareness of their online presence.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Madeleine for sharing her time, expertise, and wisdom, leaving a lasting impression on our students as they grow into informed and responsible digital citizens.
