All Sunshine Beach State School students receive Reading Eggs, Mathseeds and Mathletics subscriptions
               as part of the Student Resource Scheme. In order for Sunshine Beach State
   School to comply with departmental requirements, it is now a requirement to have parent/carer
            consent for students with these subscriptions to continue using them at school.
Dear Parent/Guardian,

The use of web based educational resources has risen steadily over the last decade and are increasingly being used by
teachers across Queensland to improve student learning outcomes.

Our school and teachers make decisions about the best technology to meet the needs of our students. Sometimes it is
beneficial for students to utilise services provided by third party web based providers.

Sunshine Beach State School wishes to utilise the third party web based service provider/s listed below to aid students
learning. For your student to use the service the 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. In the case of the services
outlined below they are private companies that are hosted onshore in 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. Registration may include disclosing the following information about your student:
     • Student Name,
     • Year group,
     • Class Teacher and
     • Student email
We need your permission for the registration and use of these sites by your student for the 2020 school year.
 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.
     This consent is for the 2020 school year, and will be required to be given again, for any future years of enrolment at SBSS.
     You can withdraw your consent at any time by notifying the school in writing (email or letter). SBSS will confirm your receipt of your
      request via email. Please provide your current email in your letter.

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 else 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 your classroom teacher.

Attached is a list of the third party web based service providers we recommend.

Yours Sincerely

(These guidelines will be explained to all students.)
Parent / Carer Undertaking — The use of Information & Communication Technologies (ICTs) at
Sunshine Beach State School gives students valuable learning and information opportunities. The school has
implemented filters to protect students as much as possible from exposure to harmful information and
supervising teachers will exercise their duty of care.

Each student also has a responsibility to behave as expected when interacting with ICTs.

I believe that ________________________________________ (student’s name), understands this responsibility and I
hereby give permission for my child to access the ICTs facilities in accord with the school guidelines above.
I understand that students infringing these guidelines will be subject to appropriate action by the school including
cessation of computer access.
