Beacon Hill School Internet Acceptable Use Policy

 

OUR MISSION

"The Beacon Hill School community is a safe, caring and stimulating environment where everyone is respected and valued. The children will have every opportunity to achieve in all aspects of school life and they will understand their responsibility as global citizens."
The Students:
When I use the Internet, I have responsibilities and rules to follow. I agree to:
 

  • keep myself and my friends safe by not giving out personal details including full names, telephone numbers, addresses and images and protecting my passwords

  • be respectful in how I talk to and work with others online and never write or participate in online bullying

  • use the technology at school for learning, use the equipment properly and not interfere with the work or data of another student

  • not bring or download unauthorised programs to the school or run them on school computers

  • not look for rude or offensive sites

  • use the Internet at school to help me to learn

  • remember that the content on the web is someone’s property and ask my teacher to help me get permission if I want to use information or pictures

  • think carefully about what I read on the Internet, question if it is from a reliable source and use the information to help me answer any questions (I should not copy and paste the information as my answer).

  • talk to my teacher or another adult if:

    • I need help online
    • I am not sure what I should be doing on the Internet
    • I come across sites which are not suitable for our school
    • someone writes something I don’t like, or makes me and my friends feel uncomfortable or asks me to provide information that I know is private.
    • I feel that the welfare of other students at the school is being threatened by online activities

 

I understand and agree to follow these rules. I understand that I may not be able to access the Internet at school if I do not act responsibly.
