STUDENT INFORMATION CONSENT FORM revision 231117

To the parent/caregiver/legal guardian, please:

1. Sign the appropriate section on this form. 2. Detach and return the signed section to the school office.

3. Keep this document for future reference.

School Responsibilities

To protect students' privacy and safety in relation to information about them, or images of

them, published by the school, and protect students' copyright in relation to the material they

create.

Images of students and/or their work are published to recognise student achievement, report

on learning to the school and wider community, and to promote the school.

With consent, we share no more than a student’s first name, image, or work in the school

newsletter, on the school website, or in the wider online community.

The school publishes images and students' work that positively depict the student and school.

The school seeks students' consent before publishing their work.

As the author of a copyright work, a student has the right to be identified when their work is

exhibited in public, such as on the internet. At Kerikeri Primary School we prefer to identify

the student by their first name and year at school only to protect their privacy. Requests for a

child's full name to be published are considered by the Principal.

Student Images Images of our students (photographs, video clips, etc), and examples of their school work, are

sometimes published in our newsletters, on our school website, and other online channels such

as the school/class blogs, Facebook page, youTube, etc.

The purposes of publishing student material are to educate our students according to the

national curriculum, to encourage students to participate in our school community, and to

promote the school.

We believe it is important to celebrate children’s achievement, but are aware of the potential

risks when such personal information or material is published on a global information system

such as the Internet.

In the interest of safety and security we require parents to give permission for their child’s first

name, image, or work to be made public.

With consent, we share no more than a student’s first name, image, or work in the school

newsletter, on the school website, or in the wider online community.

Note: This agreement for your child will remain in force as long as he/she is enrolled at this school. If it becomes necessary to add/amend any information or rule, parents will be advised in writing. Parents are welcome to contact the school to discuss these issues.

ICT AGREEMENT revision 231117 Note: This agreement is additional to the student BYOD agreement. This agreement must be signed before the student may use information and communications technologies (ICT) and devices at Kerikeri Primary School

To the parent/caregiver/legal guardian, please:

1. Read this page carefully with your child, to check that you both understand your responsibilities under this agreement.

2. Sign the appropriate section on this form. 3. Detach and return the signed section to the school office. 4. Keep this document for future reference.

School Responsibilities

At our school, we will: • Enhance learning through the safe use of ICT. This includes working to restrict access to

inappropriate, illegal or harmful material on the Internet or other ICT equipment/devices at school or through school-related activities

• Work with children and their families to encourage and develop an understanding of the importance of Cybersafety through education including providing children with strategies to help keep themselves safe when using ICT

• Respond to any breaches in ICT use in an appropriate manner; this may be the restriction of device use

• Welcome enquiries from parents or students about Cybersafety issues • Provide learning opportunities that are enhanced with the use of devices; however the use of

devices is at the teacher’s discretion and knowledge of appropriate learning; this may or may not be with the use of a device

• Provide internet access through the Kerikeri Primary School wireless network

Student Responsibilities

I will always be a good digital citizen. This means that I: • Will be a confident and capable user of ICT. I know what I do and do not understand about the

technologies that I use. I will get help where I need it • Will use ICT for learning as well as other activities. I understand that technology can help me to

learn. I also know it can be used to talk to people, to buy and sell things and to have my opinion heard. I know when and where it is OK to do each one

• Will think carefully about whether the information I see online is true. I know that it is easy to put information online. This means that what I see is not always right. I will always check to make sure information is real before I use it

• Will be able to speak the language of digital technologies. When people talk online the things they say can be quite different from a conversation they might have if they were sitting next to each other. I know that I must try to understand what people are saying before I react to them. If I am not sure, I can ask them or someone else to explain

• Understand that I may experience problems when I use technology but that I will learn to deal with them. I understand that there will be times when technology may not work as I expect it to, or that people may be mean or unkind to me online. When these things happen, I know that there are ways I can deal with it. I also know there are people I can go to, to get help if I don’t know what to do next

• Will always use ICT to communicate with others in positive, meaningful ways. I will always talk politely and with respect to people online. I know that it is possible to bully or hurt people with what I say and do on the internet. I will think about the effect that my actions have on other people

Page 13: Welcome to Kerikeri Primary School, please find enclosed … · 2020-02-03 · As part of getting to know your child before they start at Kerikeri Primary School, we ask if you could

• Will be honest and fair in all of my actions using ICT. I will never do anything online that I know will hurt anyone. I will make sure what I do is not against the law. I will make sure that my actions don’t break the rules of the websites that I use. When I am not sure about what I am doing I will ask for help

• Will always respect people’s privacy and freedom of speech online. I understand that some information is private. I will be careful when using full names, birthdays, addresses and photos of other people and of my own. I also know that I will not always agree with what people say online but that does not mean that I can stop them or use it as an excuse to be unkind to them

• Will help other to become a better digital citizen. Being a good digital citizen is something that we all have to work at. If I know that my friends are having problems online, I will try to help them. If I see that someone is being unfairly treated online then I will speak up rather than just watch it happen

• Will ensure the responsible safe care of devise. If my thoughtless or irresponsible actions cause damage of a device, I may have to cover the cost of repair or replacement.

• Student Declaration I understand that these guidelines for responsible use are to be followed when using any technology whilst at school or whilst on any school activity. I am aware that this may include the use of a device that the school does not own.

I understand that if I breach this responsible use agreement, I may lose access to school ICT services including the use of the internet, on school owned devices or any personally owned device used at school. I will not use my device to be mean, rude, or offensive to anyone.

Parent Responsibilities

I understand that our school is supporting students as they learn the skills required to become successful digital citizens. Our school defines a digital citizen as someone who is a confident and capable user of ICT.

● uses technologies to participate in educational, cultural, and economic activities ● uses and develops critical thinking skills in cyberspace ● is literate in the language, symbols, and texts of digital technologies ● is aware of ICT challenges and can manage them effectively ● uses ICT to relate to others in positive, meaningful ways ● demonstrates honesty and integrity in their use of ICT ● respects the concepts of privacy and freedom of speech in a digital world ● contributes and actively promotes the values of digital citizenship

I understand that the school provides access to the internet and other communications technologies because it believes that they enhance the teaching and learning process.

I understand that the school encourages responsible behaviour by students when using technology to help protect themselves and each other from experiencing harm online. I am aware that this “Responsible Use Agreement” is part of that, and that it encourages students to consider how their actions can affect themselves and those around them.

I have read the student declaration and have talked with my child about what it means to them. I am happy that my child understands what this means, and that they are capable of working within the guidelines.

I am aware that students can experience challenges when using technology, but that the school makes every effort to support students to manage those challenges effectively. I understand that by learning to deal with them in a safe environment with the appropriate support they will be better prepared to deal with those challenges in the future.

If I have questions or concerns about the way in which technology is being used by my child at school, I know the school is happy to discuss this with me, and I am aware that I am welcome to do this at any time.

General Information for an Australian National Police History Check General Information Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) is collecting your personal information in this form in order to conduct a National Police History Check (NPHC) on you. Approved Agencies in New Zealand, named in section one, use the personal information collected on this form and the resulting NPHC as part of the assessment process to determine suitability for the position/entitlement/benefit which you are applying for.

Unless statutory obligations require otherwise, the information provided on this form will not be used without your prior consent for any purpose other than in relation to the assessment of your suitability or to maintain the records of ACIC,

Australian Police Agencies1, or NZ Police.

You will be required to complete another consent form for any future NPHC checks.

National Police History Check (NPHC) A NPHC is an integral part of the assessment of your suitability. Information on this form will be used by ACIC, and Australian Police Agencies for checking action; it will also be used to update records held about you by ACIC, Australian Police Agencies and NZ Police. Information released may include outstanding charges, warrant information and criminal convictions/findings/pleas of guilt recorded against you that may be disclosed according to the laws of the relevant jurisdiction and, in the absence of any laws governing the release of that information, according to the relevant jurisdiction information release policy.

Limitations on accuracy and use of Police History Information While every care has been taken by ACIC to conduct a search of information held by Australian Police Agencies that relate to the applicant, the accuracy and quality of this NPHC depends on accurate identification of the Applicant (including aliases) according to the information provided in the Request and Consent Form and the comprehensiveness of police records. If the applicant does not complete the information requirements in this form the success and validity of the NPHC will be compromised.

If for any reason you do not agree with the results of your NPHC, please notify the Approved Agency that you submitted the check through in the first instance, so that the NPHC dispute process can be initiated.

The release of information by Australian Police Agencies is subject to relevant Spent Convictions, non-disclosure legislation or information release policies. Spent Conviction Schemes The aim of Spent Convictions legislation2 is to prevent discrimination on the basis of certain previous convictions. Spent Convictions legislation limits the use and disclosure of older, less serious convictions and findings of guilt. Each Australian Police Agency will apply the relevant Spent Convictions legislation/information release policy prior to disclosure.
