Online Safety
On joining our school, you will receive a login to our system. This includes an email account, space to save documents and files, filtered access to the internet, and logins for various online resources. There are central filtering systems which block sites with inappropriate content. Email accounts are accessible to senior staff and may be monitored.
There are risks in using any technology and unfortunately, some young people may expose themselves to danger either knowingly or unknowingly. We teach students about responsible and appropriate behaviours as well as how to remain safe and legal when using the internet and related technology wherever you may be.
Students sign a Student Acceptable Use Agreement, this agreement covers important e-safety topics and fosters an understanding of the key issues surrounding the use of ICT and the internet in and out of school. These include the use of school IT systems, email and social media, privacy, data protection, use of images and more.
