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.
