The Principal’s Role in Creating a Cybersafe School

The principal, as the chief executive of the school, implements board policies in the day-to-day administration and management of the school.

This does not mean that the principal needs to personally take on all of the extra responsibilities involved. Specific responsibilities include:

  • Being familiar with all aspects of this kit
  • Delegating the role of cybersafety administrator (preferably to a member of the senior management team)
  • Liaising with the cybersafety team through regular reports from the cybersafety administrator
  • Keeping stakeholders informed of the school’s on-going initiatives and program by regularly scheduling cybersafety as an agenda item for PTA or council meetings
  • Seeking regular briefings from the cybersafety team and demonstrating to staff and students ongoing support for the school cybersafety program
  • Taking final management responsibility for cybersafety in the school community.
The principal also has a role if it becomes necessary for the school to respond to an issue of misuse.
