Waimea College Computer Network Agreement

Introduction The school’s computer network, Internet access facilities, computers and other school ICT equipment/devices bring great benefits to the teaching and learning programmes at Waimea College, and to the effective operation of the school. The school’s computer network, internet access facilities, computer and other school ICT equipment/devices are for educational purposes appropriate to the school environment. As a responsible user of ICT students will help keep themselves and other people safe by following these rules: 1. Each student will have their own user name and will log on only with that user name. Students will not

tell anyone else their password. 2. While at school or a school-related activity, students will not have any involvement with any ICT

material or activity which might put themselves or anyone else at risk (e.g. bullying, harassing, or disrespecting someone’s privacy – personal information includes name, address, phone numbers, photos and videos).

3. Students can only use the internet school network for appropriate educational purposes. If in doubt

students will seek advice or ask a teacher. 4. If students accidentally access inappropriate material they will report the incident to a teacher or staff

member immediately. 5. Students must not download any files such as music, videos, games or programmes without the

permission of a teacher. This makes sure the school complies with the Copyright Act 1994 including amendments. Anyone who infringes copyright may be personally liable under this law.

6. These rules apply to Waimea College equipment and any privately owned ICT equipment that is

brought to school or on a school activity e.g. camp. Any images taken must be appropriate to the school environment.

7. Students will not connect any device or attempt to run any software on school ICT equipment without

a staff member’s permission. This includes all wireless technologies. 8. Students will respect all ICT systems in use at Waimea and treat all ICT equipment/devices with care.

9. The school may monitor or check traffic and any material sent, received and stored on our networks.

The school may use filtering and/or monitoring software to restrict access to certain sites and data, including email.

10. If these rules are broken, the school may inform the student’s parents or caregivers. In serious cases

the school may take disciplinary action against students. There may be some charge for repair costs. If illegal material or activities are involved, it may be necessary for the school to inform the police.
