Competition winners

As part of Netsafety Week activities we ran different competitions to inspire and engage young people to share their best online safety tips. The competitions were for all ages, with opportunities for schools and kura to get involved too.

Young people had the opportunity to create their own superhero, school mascots as well as make TikTok videos.

This opportunity to engage authentically with young people is one we couldn’t pass up so we were pleased to receive so many high quality entries from rangatahi.
