Third party Consent

Recently we requested parental consent for the use of third party websites. It is important that our students have access to these websites as they form part of the robotics programme or are for reinforcing learning. We have risk reviews for all these websites. In order to protect our students identities as much as we can. The websites may (not necessarily) require that we use a user name and password. They are individual websites such as Sunshine Classics and World book online.  As a school we use, as far as possible, generic logins or use the students Managed Internet Service id (MIS id). We would use a child’s initials reversed as their first name and the MIS id as the last name. Only teachers working in our school can access the matching child’s name on the OneSchool data base.

First name: First 2 letters of MIS id reversed

Last name: MIS iD

Class:  Actual class

Year: Actual year

Email: (if applicable) MIS id

However, due to policy changes we now need parental permission to use these websites or apps because the progress data, which we believe does not identify the child, is stored in cloud services which are either overseas or owned and operated by overseas companies. Thank you to the parents who have sort clarification of this. If you still need clarification, please contact Debbie Cowie at dcowi11@eq.edu.au  We need all parents to respond that they do or do not give permission. If you have not done this already please use the link below to respond.
