Cyber Security Talk and Cyber Fair

On 23 October, our school hosted an exciting Cyber Awareness Day, filled with engaging activities aimed at empowering students to make safer and kinder choices online. The day started with a Zoom Assembly presentation on cyber security by Mr. Dayang from Touch Community Services. His insights into the importance of online safety, practical ways to protect personal information, and steps to safeguard one’s digital well-being set the stage for the day's activities.

After Assembly, students headed to the Cyber Fair at the canteen. This interactive fair was designed to educate and inform students about three critical topics in today’s digital age: cyberbullying, positive online behaviour, and practicing kindness online. Each station provided unique learning experiences that were both fun and impactful, giving students practical tools for navigating the online world responsibly.

One of the highlights of the Cyber Fair was the Cyber Safe Pop-Up Vending Machines, an initiative brought to us by the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore. These interactive vending machines were more than just a fun attraction – they were an educational experience! Each machine offered students information on cyber safety tips, along with opportunities to answer questions and win prizes. Through this interactive experience, students learned valuable strategies for protecting their digital identities while enjoying the thrill of winning rewards.

Additionally, game booths manned by our very own Secondary One Cyber Wellness Ambassadors provided a hands-on learning experience. These dedicated students guided their peers through a variety of games designed to reinforce lessons on cyber kindness and the importance of positive online behaviour. Each game encouraged students to think about real-life scenarios, emphasizing empathy and respect in their online interactions. The presence of these young ambassadors not only allowed for peer-to-peer learning but also highlighted the importance of student leadership in promoting a safe online environment.

Students were enthusiastic participants throughout the day, eagerly engaging in the activities at the Fair and conversations about online safety. The chance to win attractive prizes added to the excitement, but more importantly, each student left with a better understanding of how to be responsible digital citizens.

Overall, the Cyber Wellness post-exam activity was a tremendous success, blending essential education with hands-on fun. It served as a meaningful reminder to our students about the importance of safe, responsible online practices. Through this event, our students have become more informed, aware, and ready to navigate the digital world confidently and safely.
