Introduction
Our school uses tools and resources to support student learning, including third party (non-departmental) online services hosted and managed outside of the Department of Education network.
Online services, including websites, web applications, and mobile applications, are delivered over the internet or require internet connectivity. Examples may include interactive learning sites, digital textbooks, online collaboration and communication tools, web-based publishing and design tools, and learning management systems.
Consent Process
Online Services Consent for 3rd Party Digital Services (outside the Department of Education network) is requested at enrolment and at the start of the Junior (7-9) and Senior Phases of Learning (10-12).
This legislated requirement enables informed consent to be given by parents/carers where the school has chosen to use 3rd Party Digital Services to enable teaching and learning.
All current students in Years 7-11 and many future students (going into year 7) have been emailed this consent information with a customised link enabling services to be reviewed and accepted or not in the second semester of 2021. This is a comprehensive list of services which have been risk reviewed and chosen as being suitable for educational purposes. Detailed information was attached in that email.
For existing enrolments where consent has not been returned
For any students where consent has not been received we ask that it is completed by the first week of school in 2022 (January28th) so learning accounts for services such as Stile, student pulse, Education Perfect and Digital Textbooks can be setup. Parents are encouraged to email OnlineConsentSurvey@thegapshs.eq.edu.au for detailed information or a new link if needed.
For new enrolments
Shortly after enrolment an email with a link to this customised form will be sent to new parents or carers.
If you dont receive this within a week or so of enrolment please contact
