I.C.T User Agreement

All students are required to complete the form below in order to use school I.C.T equipment at Titahi Bay Intermediate School. Parents/Caregivers and students signatures are required so both parties are aware of the policy and consequences if expectations are broken. Non-return of this form will mean students will be denied access to any I.C.T equipment.

As a safe and responsible user of I.C.T, I will keep myself and other people safe by following the below expectations:
