School Council

School Council logo
 

Our School Council was set up in 2003 and is a group of children elected each year from every class in school, who meet regularly to discuss problems and ideas raised by all children. This helps to improve the school, make it a better place for children and adults and give all children an opportunity to express themselves.

You can download the minutes of the last meeting from here.

Rules for Online Safety

There are a number of good websites with activites, quizzes and games etc relating to "safe surfing" for children. You could check these out:

An online safety quiz from Safekids.com Kid Smart Help Mickey and his friends on Internet safety adventures

The following rules are taken from the website of SafeKids:

  1. I will not give out personal information such as my address, telephone number, parents' work address/telephone number, or the name and location of my school without my parents' permission.
  2. I will tell my parents right away if I come across any information that makes me feel uncomfortable.
  3. I will never agree to get together with someone I "meet" online without first checking with my parents. If my parents agree to the meeting, I will be sure that it is in a public place and bring my mother or father along.
  4. I will never send a person my picture or anything else without first checking with my parents.
  5. I will not respond to any messages that are mean or in any way make me feel uncomfortable. It is not my fault if I get a message like that. If I do I will tell my parents right away so that they can contact the service provider.
  6. I will talk with my parents so that we can set up rules for going online. We will decide upon the time of day that I can be online, the length of time I can be online and appropriate areas for me to visit. I will not access other areas or break these rules without their permission.
  7. I will not give out my Internet password to anyone (even my best friends) other than my parents.
  8. I will check with my parents before downloading or installing software or doing anything that could possibly hurt our computer or jeopardize my family’s privacy.
  9. I will be a good online citizen and not do anything that hurts other people or is against the law.
  10. I will help my parents understand how to have fun and learn things online and teach them things about the Internet, computers and other technology.
