About this resource

The Mighty Heroes are four Australian bush characters who each have an important online safety message for students:
  • Wanda the echidna: I am responsible – I protect my personal information.
  • River the sugar glider: I show respect – I am kind and caring to others.
  • Dusty the frilled neck lizard: I trust my feelings – I ask for help when something doesn’t feel right.
  • Billie the bilby: I investigate – I question what I see, hear and do online.

The Mighty Heroes resources are curriculum-aligned and designed to be used in the classroom with primary students.
