Passwords Use of the school's ICT network is secured with a VPN user name and password. The password must be difficult enough so as not to be guessed by other users and is to be kept private by the student and not divulged to other individuals (e.g. a student should not share their username and password with fellow students). The password should be changed regularly, as well as when prompted by the department or similar tool when known by another user.

Parents are requested to ensure that their child understands this responsibility and expectation. The school’s Responsible Behaviour Plan also supports students by providing school related expectations, guidelines and consequences.

The filtering system provides a layer of protection to staff and students against: • inappropriate web pages • spyware and malware • peer-to-peer sessions • scams and identity theft. This purpose-built web filtering solution takes a precautionary approach to blocking websites including those that do not disclose information about their purpose and content. The school’s filtering approach represents global best-practice in internet protection measures. However, despite internal departmental controls to manage content on the internet, illegal, dangerous or offensive information may be accessed or accidentally displayed. Teachers will always exercise their duty of care, but avoiding or reducing access to harmful information also requires responsible use by the student. Students are required to report any internet site accessed that is considered inappropriate. Any suspected security breach involving students, users from other schools, or from outside the Queensland DET network must also be reported to the school. The personally-owned devices have access to home and other out of school Internet services and those services may not include any Internet filtering. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to conduct themselves as positive ambassadors install a local filtering application on the student’s device for our when they are connected in locations other than school. ▪ Parents/caregivers are responsible for appropriate Internet use by students using outside the system school.
