AI is a powerful tool to save us time and spark ideas. But it requires our critical eye, ethics, data protection and guidance to ensure it serves our students, rather than leading them. Let’s use it smartly and responsibly.

Welcome to our AI Insight focused on keeping you and your students safe. We know generative AI is changing how we work in the Wollongong Diocese, but knowing how to use it safely can be a little tricky.

This is why we have the Gen AI Ready Reckoner. It is our visual representation of the Gen AI guide for teachers. It will help keep you, your students and data safe.
