Helping create smart, safe and responsible students

As a nation, we should all be working to ensure we invest time and resources into raising a generation of smart, safe and responsible children and young people who are capable and compassionate – both online and offline.

The Alannah & Madeline Foundation is instrumental in supporting communities – schools in particular – to achieve this, and with more students online than ever before, there has never been a more critical time than now.

eSmart Schools

eSmart is a framework that empowers schools and other communities to ensure they are developing smart, engaged and critical-thinking people equipped with eSmart know-how and behaviours.

It is also key in reducing the risks and improving protective factors for violence against children at an individual relationship, community and social level and helps create positive and inclusive cultures that reduces bullying and cyber bullying, as well as increasing online safety.

Connect workshops

Our virtual Connect workshops are delivered by the Foundation’s expert teacher-trained facilitators, covering topics such as respectful relationships, parenting in the digital world and online safety.

These online workshops are the perfect way to connect teachers, parents and/or students with the latest in online safety tools and information.

eSmart Digital Licence

Once referred to as the online world’s equivalent of a driver’s licence, the eSmart Digital Licence teaches school age children how to play, learn and socialise safely in the digital world. When all eight topics are successfully completed, users receive their eSmart Digital Licence – in recognition of being equipped with skills to explore the online world safely. It also prepares young people for the best and the worst of the internet.

More than 270,000 students have registered to do their eSmart Digital Licence across three versions: Junior Primary, Primary and Secondary.
