Cybersafety Update

It has come to our attention that many of our students have downloaded an app called Musical.ly. Musical.ly is a social media music app where users can watch user generated lip sync video, and create video of themselves lip-syncing or dancing to music available on the app. It is a 13+ app. It’s important to note that we have not found any Hamlyn Banks students with inappropriate video content and can see that students have been students enjoying this with their friends.
