Why do we need to tackle Social Media Many of the issues reported in 1st to 3rd year between students involve social media interactions Students are being targeted on social media platforms by fake accounts Students are setting up fake accounts pretending to be other students What s happening online is making students anxious and afraid to come to school
What are we trying to achieve? 1. Promote a positive culture in GCC with regards social media use + reduce incidents with students involving social media 2. Target 2nd year students with a pilot workshop on Cyberbullying and Online harassment 3. Reduce students use of social media and use of their phone in general
How are we going to do this? 1. Run workshop for all 2nd year base classes. Highlighting the dangers of cyberbullying and harassment. Going through scenarios (some which will be very familiar to students), and actions they can take if they encounter cyberbullying
How are we going to do this? 2. Put key messages about the dangers of social media and responsible use of apps on the notice boards of all the 2nd year classrooms. A student committee will be set up to run this
How are we going to do this? 3. Reduce screen time competition. Run for all 2nd year classes as a pilot. The winner of the competition will receive some sort of reward for their efforts.
How are we going to do this? 4. Visit to school from community guard. This will be done with different year groups where they will be addressed around the consequences of actions on social media
