The use of web based educational
resources has risen steadily over the last decade. Teachers are increasingly using these
resources across Queensland to improve student-learning outcomes.
Our school and teachers make
decisions about the best technology to meet the needs of our students. While the Department provides most of the
resourcing we use at school, sometimes a need exists that is not included. On these occasions, it is beneficial for
students to utilise services provided by third party web based providers.
Coomera Springs State School wishes to utilise the third party web based
service providers listed below to aid students learning. For your child to use these services, their
teacher will need to register them as a user. Registering with these providers
requires student personal information to be disclosed to the provider of the
service. Registration may include
disclosing the following information about your student:
- Student
Name
- Year
group
- Class
Teacher
- Student Education
Queensland email address
In the case of the services outlined below they are private companies
that are hosted onshore in Australia
and/or outside of Australia. Outside
of Australia means that data that is entered to register for these sites will
be stored on servers that are not based in Australia and therefore are not
bound by Queensland’s privacy laws.
We need your permission for the registration
and use of these sites by your child.
Please complete the consent form on the reverse of this page and return
it to your child’s teacher.
Note: It is not compulsory for you to provide
this consent – If you decide not to provide consent, this will not adversely
affect academic achievement, or any relationships with teachers or the school.
Before you complete this
consent form it is important that you understand the reasons that these
websites collect this information, what will be done with it, who may have
access to it and where the data is stored. This information can be found in the
hyperlinks below referring to each website’s terms and conditions and/or
privacy policy.
Please read these and ensure
that you understand the implications of using this service before giving your
consent. If you have any queries around the storage of student’s information,
please feel free to contact the Principal. Please note that, given the
significance that these services provide, the school will contact you to
discuss your reasons should you not consent or fail to provide a response.
