An essential tool for schools in the provision of innovative educational programs is the utilisation of intranet, internet and network services. Therefore, access to these technologies is an increasingly essential part of the modern educational program provided in schools.
All students have access to the internet. Students will be supervised while using the internet.
No student will be able to have access to the internet at school unless the letter of permission is filled in and returned to the class teacher. A permission note is also required before a student's name and/or work and/or photo can be used on the school web page.
Inappropriate use of the internet will carry consequences such as suspension from its use at school, or suspension from school, depending upon the situation.
Each classroom from Prep to Year 6 has access to ICT's (iPads in Yrs P - 3, computers in Yrs 3-6) for student use. A computer laboratory (consisting of a class set of computers) is also available for explicit ICT teaching and learning.
The majority of computers in the school are connected to the internet through Education Queensland's Managed Internet Service program. Computers in this school are seen as a valuable resource and students will be encouraged to use this resource as they would any other resource in the school to assist in the learning program.
Teachers consistently undertake professional development on an individual basis to gain further skills to pass on to the students.
Students will be able to use email only for the purpose of school work, not for personal use. Inappropriate use of the internet will result in disciplinary action.
Having a computer at home will certainly assist your child's progress in ICT skills and knowledge.
