A $10.6 million program to tackle cyber bullying will be rolled out in every Victorian public school.
The initiative, called eSmart, will provide $2000 grants to all public schools and 300 non-government schools to implement strategies to address cyber bullying.
Staff will be trained in dealing with cyber bullying and a four-student team at every participating school will promote cyber safety.
Education Minister Bronwyn Pike says the program will help tackle cyber bullying on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
"The program will ensure cyber safety is a normal part of a young person's life by equipping them to use technology in ways that protect them from the risks," she said.
