168                                        <p>At SIDE, we believe that all students are responsible, respectful, and safe
169                                            in their online interactions, both inside and outside of school. As good
170                                            digital citizens, our students understand the importance of behaving
171                                            ethically and thoughtfully in the digital world.</p>
172                                        <p>This includes understanding the impact and appropriate use of emerging
173                                            technologies such as artificial intelligence. Being a good digital citizen
174                                            means respecting others, taking responsibility for online behaviour, and
175                                            prioritising safety in all digital environments, including Moodle and Webex.
