Computer Use
The Tarneit Senior College network is provided for staff and students to promote educational excellence by facilitating resource sharing, innovation and communication. All students are given access to the network via a protected password as well as school-administrated electronic mail, internet access and the option to utilise the laptop program. These facilities must be regarded as privileges, which may be withdrawn for misuse of the resources at any time at teacher’s discretion.
Internet access has been provided to assist students’ education. Students and parents are required to sign an ICT Acceptable Use Agreement that outlines appropriate behaviours and guidelines. Students are to ensure that activity undertaken on their devices is not offensive, inappropriate or illegal. The College uses DET service providers that provide filtering mechanisms that are designed to block inappropriate content. However this can never be guaranteed and in the end, it is the responsibility of individual users to ensure their behaviour abides within the law, school rules and any rules imposed by parents/guardians.
