“Being a Netsafe School gives real reassurance to our community because they can see that we’re actually working with a really credible company who have expertise in this area.”

“It’s really, really important to know that when those difficult things do come, that support is just a phone call to someone to say, “Can you help me to deal with this so we can resolve this well” – it gives our leadership team confidence”.
Rachele Poole, DPTe Matauru School
“As a school we grappled with finding a way to balance introducing some restrictions without stifling the opportunities. The YAS programme has offered us the chance to help our students become more informed about possible dangers through an educative approach. The power of this programme is that it is led by student leaders within our school."

The advice I would give other schools who are considering signing up to the Netsafe Schools Programme is to do it. Along our journey we found the support from the Netsafe team invaluable to bounce ideas off and to get validation for the work we are doing.
