Earlier this month, Beth Sherburn Pop singer and songwriter, visited St Edmund’s Catholic Academy.

Beth works alongside ‘Life Skills’ and came into school to talk to our Year 7 and 8 pupils about eSafety and Cyber Bullying.

With Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram being popular amongst our young people today, Beth spoke of the importance of being safe online and how these platforms of Social Media can be dangerous if not used in right way.

She commented: “Your words are very powerful – so make sure you use them wisely…don’t be mean behind the screen.”

She also shared a real life story about a girl who committed suicide due to cyber bullying taking place in a school.

“If you are being bullied or know someone who is, it is really important you tell someone, so that the bullying stops. Don’t ever let anyone take away your dreams and ambitions.”

Beth also performed a number of songs including her latest single; ‘Joker,’ featuring Lil Wayne, which is out now! Everyone was on their feet singing and dancing, we look forward to Beth’s visit again in the near future.
