If you find something online that is unpleasant, distressing or just makes you feel uncomfortable, tell your teacher, parents or an adult.

Internet Rules

Using the internet at school is fun and a wonderful learning and sharing activity.

These are some rules and guidelines developed for the safety of our students.

Do's When using the internet, you must:

• be responsible when posting on the internet

• write full words and sentences – not mobile phone talk

• always only use first names

Don'ts

• Do NOT write about any personal information– example- your phone numbers or tell anyone where you live.

• Do NOT post information or pictures of others without their permission and never use full names.

• never post anything about yourself that you wouldn’t like others to see

Never post any details about where you might live:

-example: “Hi I’m Mitch and I live in Smith Street, Smithville” – BAD.

Never post any information that may lead to your identity.

Be careful of any information you reveal:

-example “I play soccer for the Diamonds – my game is at 7:30 this Saturday” – BAD.

“I play soccer with a local team during the week” – GOOD.
