Online Safety
Online safety is an important part of keeping students safe. Young people are now accessing a greater amount of online content than ever before. At Pure College we have extensive security measures in place to safeguard students and restrict inappropriate, accessible content online. We recognise that students can accidently or deliberately be exposed to unwanted or unpleasant content or comments online, sometimes from sources that appear to be policed and completely safe. The information provided on this page is to support and advise parents, carers and students. If there is a particular topic that isn’t included below, please contact Pure College and we will endeavour to support you.
