What is eSmart?

eSmart, an initiative of the Alannah & Madeline Foundation, helps schools maintain a supportive and connected community to reduce online and offline bullying, and increase wellbeing.

eSmart is an evidence based, culture-change approach that strengthens the foundations of positive and inclusive connectedness within the school community.

eSmart enables schools to implement best practice into policies and procedure, student wellbeing, bullying reduction and online safety knowledge across the whole school.

It supports schools to review and improve operational systems, practices and knowledge-base across the whole school community. By implementing change through the eSmart suite of programs, schools can improve student wellbeing, encourage positive use of technology and decision-making, while reducing bullying, cyber bullying and anti-social behaviour.

Our eSmart offering includes a range of programs and products, as detailed below.
