Students do not have sanctioned access to generative AI tools in school.
AI tools are switched off for students in Google Workspace @castletroycollege.ie.
Be Smart. Be Safe. Be Honest.
I will keep secrets secret. I will never share my full name, address, phone number, or passwords with a chatbot.
I will protect others. I will never upload photos, names, or details about my friends, teachers, or family into an AI tool.
I will check the age rating. I will only use AI tools that are allowed for my age group and approved by my school.
I am the author. I will never simply copy and paste text from an AI and hand it in as my own work. That is plagiarism.
I will cite my sources. If I use AI for research or ideas, I will reference it in my bibliography just like a book or website.
I know the Exam Rules. For State Exams (Junior & Leaving Cert) coursework, I understand that using AI to generate my final project or essay is strictly banned and can result in losing marks.
I use AI as a coach, not a player. I can use AI to brainstorm ideas, explain hard topics, or check my spelling—but the final thinking and writing must be mine.
I will check the facts. I know that AI chatbots can "hallucinate" (make things up). I will double-check important dates, facts, and quotes with a reliable source.
I will look out for bias. I understand that AI is trained on internet data, which can sometimes be unfair, rude, or stereotypical. I will not spread hateful content generated by AI.
I will be kind. I will not use AI to create mean images, deepfakes, or bullying messages about anyone in my school community.
I will tell a teacher. If an AI suggests something dangerous, illegal, or upsetting, I will stop using it immediately and report it to a teacher or parent.
I will only talk to people about my personal and social life. AI is not a person and does not understand feelings or relationships. I will not use AI to discuss my feelings or to seek help with personal and social issues.
