Student Use of Third Party Software 

Our school is committed to providing a technology-rich environment for our students. Our school community considers the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is fundamental in assisting teaching and learning in all areas of the school curriculum. 

The school uses third-party providers offering web-based educational resources and cloud-based storage to support our administrative functions and enhance student learning outcomes. The department has a service agreement with some providers it has assessed as meeting privacy and security standards required of the department. The school offers students access to a number of services in addition to these. 

In most instances, students are required to register before accessing an online service. Registration involves either a staff member or student entering identifying information such as name, grade, and email address onto the provider's platform. This and any other data entered in the course of accessing the application may be stored on servers located in Australia or off-shore in a country not subject to NSW privacy laws. 

Your consent is required for your child's information to be provided to these third-party providers. Before giving your consent, it is important you understand what student information is collected, how it will be used and who may have access to it. 

A form was emailed to you yesterday to provide permission for your child to use specific software applications. Please complete the form at your earliest convenience.
