In Dunearn Secondary School, we focus on developing students to be responsible online users and digital learners, anchoring on the 3 principles of cyber wellness:

Three principles of cyber wellness and their objectives

3 Principles of Cyber Wellness	Objectives
Respect for Self and Others	Students should: uphold their own dignity when online (e.g. share appropriate content and participate only in legal online activities) respect other people online (e.g. put themselves in others’ shoes, accept diverse views and opinions, give credit when using other people’s work and seek permission where necessary, avoid sharing hurtful materials).
Safe and Responsible Use	Students should: have an understanding of the risks of harmful and illegal online behaviour, and take steps to protect themselves (e.g. keep their personal information private, verify the reliability of information using various sources, take steps to avoid dangers they may encounter online). make wise and healthy choices (e.g. maintain a healthy balance of their online and offline activities)
Positive Peer Influence	Students should: be a positive role model online (e.g. share healthy and positive content, harness the affordances of technology to do good for society) advocate positive online behaviour (e.g. stand up for their peers online, report cases of cyber bullying to a trusted adult/authority, post encouraging remarks on social media)

These principles are inculcated and advocated through our 3-pronged approach:
