The Journey Begins Here

Volunteers providing tuition to the over 50’s and assisting them to navigate the everchanging digital landscape

Empowering Seniors in the Digital Age

In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, staying connected has never been more important, and Campbelltown Senior Cyber Seekers is a club dedicated to ensuring that the older members of our community do not get left behind by offering a helping hand to seniors eager to understand technology be it Windows, Apple or Android.

Campbelltown Senior Cyber Seekers is a community of volunteers helping seniors not just adapt to the digital age but embrace it with confidence and enthusiasm by providing tailored computer tuition designed specifically to meet their needs. This is critical in an era where technology is woven into the very fabric of our daily lives, and our students are provided with the necessary tools to guide them by tutors who understand the importance of bridging the generation gap. Over the past year our volunteers have provided in excess of 2000 hours tuition to seniors.

Cyber Seekers goes beyond the basics, offering a curriculum that addresses the unique needs and concerns of seniors as they navigate the digital landscape. From mastering email communication to understanding social media, online safety, and many other facets of technology,

One of the standout features of Campbelltown Senior Cyber seekers is the personalized approach to learning. Recognising that every senior has a unique comfort level with technology, the program offers one-on-one sessions and small group classes. This ensures that each student receives the attention they need, fostering a supportive learning environment where questions are encouraged.

But Cyber Seekers learning is not just about acquiring technical skills; it’s about building a sense of community. Regular luncheons and our monthly BBQ’s enable members to engage with tutors, duty officers and other members in an informal environment.

If you are over 50 and seeking to learn or simply refresh your understanding of computers, mobile devices or apps we are here to assist.

Cloud Computing – OneDrive


Microsoft constantly remind us to back up our important files, photos, apps, and settings on to Microsoft OneDrive so they’re available no matter what happens to your device. It all sounds so easy but there are pitfalls that could lock out access to your documents and emails.
Our series of lessons on OneDrive will take you through the setting up of OneDrive so it only sends files that you want it to back up to the OneDrive Cloud.

You’ll be taken through the setup of OneDrive on your PC or Laptop so you avoid the pitfalls of OneDrive sending “all” your files to the Cloud. The pitfalls of eventually using up your “free” space allowance on OneDrive and then receiving a notice form OneDrive that you’ll need to pay for extra space.
