This year at FPS we are committed to caring for, and using devices responsibly which aligns with our SWPBS framework. Teachers and students have been learning together about the expected behaviours when using digital technologies at school through our new whole school ICT agreement.
After reading the agreement and having discussions with their classmates, students signed the agreement to show they understand what is expected of them. Teachers and students are looking forward to using devices to help us learn throughout the year.
