BYOD Registration Form
The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Charter is a contract between parent, student and school which clearly outlines the conditions under which students may bring and use specified portable (smart) technologies to Picton High School. The points below reinforce responsible use of technology principles and are in line with Department of Education (DoE) policies; together they support a cybersafe and secure learning environment for our students. These conditions are also consistent with community expectations for the appropriate use of technology and are adopted in conjunction with other school policies.

Student Responsibilities
I agree to abide by all conditions outlined in this charter whenever using any technology (BYODs or school-owned equipment) at school, or, offsite at any school-related activity.

I acknowledge that my device is brought to school in order to support my learning.

I will bring my device to school charged and ready to use in lessons. I will update my device with the recent most version of the operating system.

I understand that my device should not be connected to any other network other than an authorised DoE NSW network. I will not tether my device to a secondary device in order to connect to another network. I understand that DoE internet cyber safety filters apply to all devices operating within their networks.

I will not access material or activities that present risks to my safety, privacy or security, or, risks to others.

I will not access, store or knowingly receive on any device inappropriate/unlawful material, or participate in inappropriate/unlawful activities, or encourage others to do so.

I will not send inappropriate/unlawful material to others, including the passing on of inappropriate/unlawful material that may have been sent to me. I will make a teacher immediately aware of any inappropriate/unlawful material that has been sent to me.

I will respect personal privacy and will not use, without teacher consent, a device to record, photograph or video others, or to pass on personal information.

I will take care of my BYOD, be responsible for its safe storage and take appropriate precautions to avoid accidental damage. This may include protective cases, screen guards etc.

I will not interfere with any ICT device that belongs to another student, staff member or school, and I will not share personal login details with another person.

I accept that if I wilfully or accidently contribute to the damage, loss or theft of the school’s or a student’s personal ICT equipment/devices, that my family will be responsible for the cost of repair or replacement.

I understand that in case of damage, malfunction or loss, BYODs are not covered by DoE or school insurance.

I will only use my device for learning as directed by the teacher.

I understand that it is my responsibility to regularly back up and secure data related to my school work.

I will abide by copyright laws and the principles of all my own work. I understand that it is a breach of this charter and may be illegal to download materials (e.g. music, videos, software) obtained without payment or consent from those who own the intellectual property.

I accept that any teacher is permitted to view material on my device in order to check the content or activity with which I am engaged while at school or offsite at any school-related activity.

Parent or Carer Responsibilities
I have read this charter carefully and discussed it with my child. We both have a clear understanding of the conditions related to bringing a BYOD to Picton High School.

I will actively encourage my child to abide by the conditions of this charter, including appropriate use, copyright and respect for devices, irrespective of who owns the device.

I agree to teachers and staff having access to my child’s device in order to supervise the activity and content of its use at school or during school-related activities. I understand that breaches of the charter may result in the temporary confiscation of the device until a parent is informed.

I understand that access to the DoE network is conditional on this charter being agreed to by student and parent or carer and being submitted by clicking the 'Submit' button below.
