Australian schools are being cautioned against sharing student photos on social media and online platforms, as the risks of cyberbullying, identity theft, and exploitation continue to mount. Experts warn that even seemingly innocuous photos can be used to target vulnerable students, and that schools have a responsibility to protect their students' privacy. Despite the growing trend of online sharing, many schools are now rethinking their social media policies, with some opting to remove photos altogether or limit their online presence. As experts emphasize, "there's no risk-free way" to post student photos online, and schools must strike a balance between showcasing student achievements and safeguarding their well-being.
