Digital Citizenship is embedded into our programmes at both primary and secondary level. It is paramount to us that Trinity students learn to become responsible digital citizens and display a high level of awareness when interacting with technology. Cyberbullying and misuse of technology will not be tolerated. Students are actively encouraged to have a say in how we promote digital citizenship and prevent inappropriate behaviour online.

Make computers safe
Supervise
