Permission is required to bring onto campus computers, laptops and any other device which is (a) capable of either communicating with the internet and / or other equipment / devices / systems,
(b) capable of storing text or images.
Parents are responsible for ensuring any such equipment is insured. We cannot be responsible for any loss or damage howsoever caused. Parents must ensure such equipment has adequate software safeguards wherever possible, to prevent access to, or storage of, offensive or unacceptable content. Pupils who bring onto campus, or who disseminate in any way, such electronically stored content, or access such content whilst on campus, or who illicitly, or without permission, connect to systems, networks, or the web, or who fail to adhere to the rules concerning such usage; will have their equipment confiscated, will be barred from bringing same ever onto campus in the future, and risk suspension or expulsion. Pupils who think being involved with offensive or unacceptable content, or connecting, or attempting to connect to, campus networks or systems is funny, harmless or “no big deal” will find we take this seriously and will react accordingly.
In order for the College to agree that such equipment may be brought onto Campus premises parents and pupils must agree that the College reserves the right to “search” through any stored text or images if it suspects unacceptable content or usage. (See Annex I at the back of these notes) |
