Digital Citizenship and Acceptable Use Policy
Our goal is to empower every student to become a responsible, ethical, and effective digital citizen. The Agreements for Acceptable Use outline the school's expectations for the safe, responsible, and academic use of all connected devices and digital platforms on school grounds.
These mandatory agreements clearly define our policies regarding device security, online behaviour, intellectual property, and privacy, ensuring a consistent and safe environment for everyone. Crucially, our curriculum embeds strong digital literacy, guiding students to critically evaluate online sources, ethically source information, and perceive the meaning and significance of the knowledge they access, turning information into true academic growth.
