The cyber safety pilot program, developed by child safety charity The Alannah and Madeline Foundation, aims to help school communities become smart, safe and responsible users of technology.

Assistant principal Chris Salisbury said the school, which has a one-to-one laptop program for students in years 9-12, was "very keen to be pro-active and preventive in what we do".

"The cyber bullying program is very much about the kids being involved and being part of the solution."

Fellow assistant principal Lyn McGoldrick said the college wasn't waiting for incidents to happen but working on ways to prevent them.

"Developing a moral compass is important.

"Without the ability to reason on what's appropriate behaviour, it's not going to make a difference to those who want to act inappropriately."

Deakin MP Mike Symon described cyber bullying as a "frightening trend".

"Teachers and parents know there are risks involved for children regarding cyberspace and there are many cyber safety programs and resources available, but which ones are effective?

"This initiative will provide schools with the tools they need to create a cyber safety approach that meets their

individual school's needs, while educating everyone involved about the responsible use of technology."

The outcomes of the pilot will be independently evaluated and considered in the Government's review of the National Safe Schools Framework, which is expected to be completed by June.
