ICT Acceptable Use Agreement – Action Required

Each year, all families and students are required to complete a User Agreement for the use of technology at our school. This agreement outlines expectations for safe and responsible use of the internet, Google Workspace for Education, school-owned devices and any personal devices capable of connecting to networks.

Parents and carers are asked to read through the agreement with their child and accept the event via Compass by 20 February.

By accepting the agreement, both you and your child are committing to safe, respectful and responsible use of technology at school, in line with the Resurrection School ICT Acceptable Use Policy. Please be aware that breaches of this agreement may result in internet or digital technology access being suspended or revoked.

We also remind families that supervision and management of students’ online activity outside school hours remains the responsibility of parents and carers.

Thank you for your continued support in helping our students use technology safely and appropriately.
