Internet Safety Procedure

Internet Safety Proceedure

Our Lady of Victories School will endeavour to protect staff and students from any misuses or abuses as a result of accessing the internet and electronic mail. The school will not be held responsible for any problems that occur, including loss of data, accuracy or suitability of information found inappropriately or illegally used.

Learners will be given guidelines on and support with how to gather, select from and process information to support their learning in a monitored environment.

Learners will need to have gained their internet licence before being allowed independent access to the internet. Signed permission from parents must be received by the school before any child has access to the school internet.

Learners are required to take responsibility for their own appropriate behaviour when using the internet or electronic mail as they are representing the school.

Opportunities for professional development in the use of the internet as a teaching and learning resource will be provided.

Access is considered a privilege and must be treated as such and students must not use the school name/logo or set up their own sites under the guise of Our Lady of Victories School, unless requested to do so for school based purposes only.
