I know that I must use the computers safely:
- I know that my teacher can watch what I do on the computers.
- I will not let anyone else know or use my username or password; and I will not use their username or password.
- I will tell a teacher immediately of anything that makes me feel uncomfortable or I know I should not be viewing.
- I understand that the school will look after me and my friends and can help if anything happens on the computer that worries me.
I know that I must use the computers responsibly:
- I will only put pictures or videos on the Internet or Social Media sites from inside the school if I have permission.
- I understand that the school’s Internet filter is there to protect me, and I will not try to bypass it. If I do access a website that I know is not suitable, I will tell my teacher immediately.
- If I need access to a blocked website, I will ask my teacher.
- I will not knowingly infringe copyright.
I know that I must help look after the computers:
- If I have a problem with my computer, I will tell a teacher immediately so that the problem can be fixed – I won’t leave it broken for the next person.
- I will only use programs that are already on the school computer. If I need a new program, I will ask my teacher – I won’t try to install it myself.
I know that I must respect others when using the computers:
- I will always treat others the same way I would want them to treat me – just as I would when not using the computers. I will not use the computers to harass or bully anyone.
- I will always be polite online. I appreciate that others may have different opinions.
- I will not take or share pictures or videos of anyone without their permission.
