Practical Information for Parents
Getting ready for Year 7 2019? • Choose the right device for your child. All of the Stott Hoare options are suitable. Some have more memory or different processor capacities. All are endorsed by the school for use with the curriculum. • Order the device in time to have a smooth start to the year • Think about how your child will protect the device from damage and back up their data. Hard cases must be appropriate for the school environment and we recommend a hard drive for backing up data
Insurance Cover Parents are required to insure the device Options: Contact your current insurer - Seek independent insurance cover - Take out the cover that is offered at the point of purchase The Department of Education does not cover personal property at school or in transit between home and school
Safe Use – Recommendations for parents to discuss with their child 1. Always carry your laptop in a hard case and in your school bag when not in use 2. Only use it in a safe place – in the classroom, library or home 3. Don’t use it in public places – shops, parks, on the bus 4. Don’t leave it unattended or loan it to anyone 5. It is a privilege and as the parent, you have the authority to manage appropriate use at home
Internet Use The school monitors all internet use while students are using the Department of Education ICT services. The West Australian curriculum incorporates safe and ethical use of ICT, the internet and social media. Monitoring appropriate use outside Department of Education services at home is the responsibility of the parent. The Australian Government cybersafety websites provide excellent resources for parents.
Social Media – parent conversations with teens Respect yourself Respect the community and the people in your school Be a good friend Treat others as you would like to be treated Keep your personal details private THINK Source: http: //www. cybersmart. gov. au/Teens. aspx
