E-safety


ICT including the Internet, Virtual Learning Environment, e-mail and mobile technologies have become an important part of learning in our Academy. We expect all students to be safe and responsible when using any ICT. It is essential that students are aware of eSafety and know how to stay safe when using any ICT.

Students are expected to read and discuss this agreement with their parent or carer and then sign and follow the terms of the agreement. Any concerns or explanation can be discussed with your child’s Learning Tutor.

Please make sure that you and your child read the acceptable use eSafety.
