Hagley College Digital Citizenship Agreement

Hagley College's Digital Citizenship Agreement is based on Hagley's values. The Agreement is designed to keep ourselves and others safe whilst using digital devices while enrolled at school.

Hagley Colleges values are:

• Whakamarumaru (Responsibility)
• Whakawhirinaki (Trust)
• Mana (Respect)
• Tika (Integrity)

Digital Citizenship encompasses digital: access, literacy, communication, security, etiquette, rights and responsibilities, commerce, health and wellness, and law.

The term 'digital device' refers to all digital technologies including, but not limited to, computers, tablets, music devices, cell phones, cameras, USB drives. This digital device may be owned and maintained by Hagley College or by the individual student or staff member of the College

When using digital devices, I am responsible and act with integrity. I must not use a digital device at any time to upset, offend, harass, threaten, defame or harm anyone. I will not undertake any activity that may bring harm to individuals or bring Hagley College into disrepute.

• I will avoid any involvement with material or activities which could put at risk my own safety, or the safety, privacy, reputation or security of the school or other members of the school community.
• I will not allow anyone else to use my password nor will I use anyone else's.
• I will not misrepresent myself or others. I understand that I am responsible for actions undertaken in my name.
• I will not breach a person's right to privacy by posting, publishing or releasing any personal information, including images or video without their express permission. This includes the use of social media sites.
• I will not plagiarise or pass off others' work as my own. I will fully acknowledge the origin and ownership of materials I use as appropriate.

• I will not use my cell phone in lessons, unless the teacher gives me their express permission.
• I will not make any attempt to bypass security, monitoring and filtering that are in place at school.
• I will not access or attempt to access inappropriate or objectionable material or sites restricted for my age. If I accidentally access inappropriate material or receive inappropriate material, I will immediately inform my teacher and the eLearning Leader or a member of the College's ICT Services Team.

• Hagley College will, wherever and whenever possible, filter and screen any inappropriate (including dangerous and illegal) material but I as the end user will need to exercise judgement in accessing only educationally appropriate materials.
