Cyber Safety

Pompallier Catholic School Cybersafety Programme

The Catholic values and special character promoted by Pompallier Catholic School include respect for self and all others in the school community and commitment to enabling everyone to achieve their personal best in an environment that is physically and emotionally safe. The measures to ensure the cyber safety of the school environment are outlined in our Cyber-safety Use Agreement documents and are based on these core values.

Information on the internet is uncensored. These documents will ensure that the material retrieved will follow the Catholic and special character of Pompallier Catholic School and will be used to aid learning within the curriculum.

The school’s computer network, internet access facilities, computers and other School ICT equipment/devices bring great benefits to the teaching and learning programmes at Pompallier Catholic School and to the effective operation of the school.

However, it is essential that the school endeavours to ensure the safe use of ICT within the school community.

Thus Pompallier Catholic School has rigorous cyber safety practices in place, which include the Cybersafety Use Agreement for all school staff and students.

Our Cybersafety Use Agreement documents include information about obligations and responsibilities, and the nature of possible consequences associated with breaches of the use agreement which undermine the safety of the school environment. The cyber safety education supplied by the school to its learning community is designed to complement and support the use agreement initiative. The overall goal of the school in this matter is to help keep the school community cyber-safe, by creating and maintaining a cyber-safety culture that is in keeping with the values of the school, as well as legislative, and professional, obligations. All members of the school community benefit from being part of the use agreement initiative and other aspects of the school cyber safety programme.
