EF2 Media Consent Form

REPSONSIBLE USE OF ICT POLICY AGREEMENT

This document defines the Responsible Use Policy for student use of the Beenleigh SHS Computer

Systems. Its main purpose is to encourage the mature and responsible use of the facilities available to

the students through the provision of clear usage guidelines. Students authorised to use the school’s

computer system also have Internet and Electronic Mail access.

The use of ICT devices and systems has been designed to help students keep up with the demands of

the 21st century. Helping students become responsible digital citizens will enhance not only what we

do in the classroom, but also give students skills and experiences that will prepare them for their future

studies and career.

The Queensland Department of Education, Training and Employment deems the following to

be responsible use and behaviour by a student:

- developing appropriate literacy, communication and information skills - authoring text, artwork, audio and visual material for publication on the Intranet or Internet for

educational purposes as supervised and approved by the school - conducting general research for school activities and projects - communicating or collaborating with other students, teachers, parents or experts in relation to

school work

- accessing online references such as dictionaries, encyclopaedias, etc. - researching and learning through the Department’s e-learning environment.

The Queensland Department of Education, Training and Employment deem the following to be

irresponsible use and behaviour by a student:

- use the IT resources in an unlawful manner - download, distribute or publish offensive messages or pictures - insult, harass or attack others or use obscene or abusive language - deliberately waste printing and Internet resources - damage any electronic devices, printers or the network equipment - commit plagiarism or violate copyright laws - use unsupervised internet chat - send chain letters or Spam e-mail (junk mail) - access 3G/4G networks during lesson time - knowingly download viruses or any other programs capable of breaching the Department’s

networks security.

In addition to this Beenleigh State High School states that:

1. Users are responsible for the security, maintenance and integrity of their individually owned devices and their network accounts.

2. Users are required to create a password to protect their account. This password should be difficult enough so as not to be guessed by other users and under no circumstances should passwords be divulged to any other user on the system.

3. If users have any reason to suspect that their account security may have been compromised or tampered with, it should be reported immediately to Technical Support.

4. Information dispatched from the school network is a reflection on how the global community perceives the school. All students using the systems are encouraged to show that they are positive ambassadors for Beenleigh SHS. No obscene, inflammatory, racist, discriminatory or derogatory language should be used in electronic mail or any other form of network communication.

6. Students must not record, photograph or film any students or school personnel without the express permission of the individual/s concerned and the supervising teacher.

7. Students must get permission before copying files from another user. Copying files belonging to another user without their express permission may constitute plagiarism and/or theft.

GETTING A LAPTOP: There’s three choices.

Option 1: BYOD Students bring a device from the recommended list that is maintained by the student/parents

including all maintenance and repairs. The school laptop co-ordinator will provide support to students

for minor issues and connectivity to the school network.

Laptop/ Tablet PC running Windows 7 or 8.1 Bluetooth keyboard, if bringing a small screen device A protective case and insurance.

Option 2: Take-home laptop program The Laptop Program is continuing for 2018. There are limited places for this program so it will be a

receiving the device. The $150 will provide the student with a device as well as all maintenance under

Acer’s warranty conditions. There is a combination of laptops and tablets available. Complete the

laptop program form to lodge your request.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is BYOD?

BYOD stands for Bring Your Own X device. It is a scheme designed to allow all students at Beenleigh

State High School to have access to digital learning.

Why BYOD?

Previously the federal government funded NSSCF program provided laptops to students. This program

no longer exists but the school needs students to have access to the Australian Curriculum as it is

delivered in Queensland State Schools. This requires Beenleigh High to be able to deliver the

curriculum digitally across all subjects. Beenleigh High is delivering lessons using technology and

needs to continue this practice to effectively deliver the curriculum and continue to develop students

as contemporary learners.

How will my student keep their device safe?

Parents are encouraged to purchase a protective case and students are encouraged to use this case

for all transportation of the device during the school day.

Other items the school recommends parents/carers purchase

- Protective case

- Pointing device (mouse or stylus)

- Onsite warranty (Next Business Day (NDB) Onsite Warranty is STRONGLY recommended)

- Accidental Damage Protection insurance (ADP) preferably from the Manufacturer
