About Cybermarvel
The Cybermarvel program is a joint initiative of the NSW, VIC, TAS, ACT, SA and NT education departments. It takes direction from the eSafety Commissioner’s Best Practice Framework for online safety education. It aims to:
- build staff and students’ cyber safety awareness and skills
- inform parents and carers how to keep their family safe online
- encourage safe and positive online behaviours and experiences.
It celebrates Safer Internet Day in February and Cyber Security Awareness Month in October. We encourage schools to promote online safety learning throughout the year.
Cybermarvel has connected with 165,000 students and more than 3,500 staff and parents (2021-24) across Australia, guiding them to be safe, responsible and respectful online citizens.
The program was Highly Commended at the Most Innovative Educator in Cybersecurity category at the Australian Women in Security 2024 awards.
Judges commendation: "You are leading the way in online safety and cybersecurity education in primary schools across Australia while inspiring high school students through career initiatives that address the cyber skills shortage early on. With diverse resources, virtual classrooms, lesson plans, and teacher training for Safer Internet Day and Cyber Security Awareness Month, Cybermarvel is making a strong impact in raising cybersecurity awareness among students, staff, and parents."
