Shalom Presidency School
organised a Cyber Awareness Workshop for students of Grades VI to
VIII on 30th July 2026 in the Conference Hall, reinforcing
the importance of safe, responsible, and ethical digital citizenship. The
workshop aimed to equip students with essential knowledge about navigating the
online world safely while protecting their personal information, identity, and
digital well-being. The session commenced with a warm welcome by the student
anchors, followed by an invocation.
A comprehensive presentation
titled "Cyber Safety – Think Before You Click!" highlighted
key aspects of cybersecurity, including the importance of safeguarding personal
information, creating strong passwords, practising responsible social media
behaviour, recognising and responding to cyberbullying, ensuring online gaming
safety, and maintaining a healthy balance between screen time and offline life.
Students were reminded that every digital action leaves a lasting footprint and
that responsible choices are the foundation of online safety.
Adding a dynamic dimension to the
programme, four student speakers delivered an engaging TED-style talk,
"Guardians of the Grid," focusing on the three pillars of digital
citizenship—cybersecurity, cyber ethics, and cyber safety. Through
relatable examples and thought-provoking insights, they encouraged their peers
to become responsible digital citizens, emphasising that behind every screen is
a real person and behind every click is a conscious choice.
The workshop concluded on an
inspiring note, successfully sensitising students to the realities of the
digital world while empowering them with practical strategies to stay safe
online. It served as a valuable reminder that digital responsibility is not just
about technology, but about making informed and ethical decisions every day.
