Cybersafety
All students are
required to complete a Cyber Safety Certificate. This can either be a
school based course or the online eSmart Digital licence
https://www.digitallicence.com.au
If a student believes they
have received a computer virus, spam (unsolicited email), or they have
received a message or other online content that is inappropriate or
makes them feel uncomfortable, they must inform their teacher, parent or
caregiver as soon as is possible.
Students must also seek advice
if another user seeks personal information, asks to be telephoned,
offers gifts by email or asks to meet a student.
Students are encouraged to explore and use the ‘Cybersafety Help button’ to talk,
report and learn about a range of cybersafety issues.
Students must never initiate or knowingly forward emails, or other online content, containing:
- a message sent to them in confidence
- a computer virus or attachment that is capable of damaging the recipients’ computer
- chain letters or hoax emails
- spam (such as unsolicited advertising).
Students must never send, post or publish:
- inappropriate or unlawful content which is offensive, abusive or discriminatory
- threats, bullying or harassment of another person
- sexually explicit or sexually suggestive content or correspondence
- false or defamatory information about a person or organisation.
Parents,
caregivers and students are encouraged to read the department’s
Cybersafety and Cyberbullying guide for parents and caregivers.
