We define digital citizenship as one of the 5 tenets of being a Global Digital Citizen. Digital citizenship means engaging in appropriate and exemplary behaviour in an online environment.

The essence of digital citizenship is about a shifting of accountability for appropriate behaviour to our students, which fosters independence and personal responsibility.
