How to use the Student Activity Report data

The Student Activity Report can help identify behaviours requiring the attention of the wellbeing staff. You can use the report to:

• Highlight inappropriate content searches: The report highlights searches related to adult content, violence, hate speech, and bullying. Wellbeing staff can intervene to provide appropriate guidance and support to students.
• Identify unusual online activity: The report helps wellbeing staff identify unusual spikes or patterns in online activity. Wellbeing staff can investigate further to understand the reasons behind the unusual behaviour and take necessary actions.
• Monitor non-school hour activity: The report helps wellbeing staff identify potential issues outside of school hours. Wellbeing staff can engage with students and address concerns related to inappropriate online behaviour during non-school hours.
