6. Sharing Ownership
In Year One we love to use technology to help us learn in different
ways. We always look after our computers and equipment and share
them with each other. When we are online, we keep our usernames
and passwords private and we always use programs that help us with
our learning. When we talk to others on the computer we always show
respect for ourselves and others.
Using the existing Code of Conduct to formulate a Class Policy on Cybersafety
Sample One – Prep to Year 2

7. In Year Four we believe that technology can help us learn in new and
exciting ways which are important in our future. We need to be fair to
others when using equipment and always think of our safety and the
safety and privacy of others when communicating online. When we use
technology for our learning, we follow set rules that help keep our
equipment working and if we are ever unsure we always ask our
‘Experts’.
Sample Two – Year 3 – Year 4

8. In Year Six, learning with technology helps us best prepare for the
future. When we use technology we learn in many different ways.
We work in groups or by ourselves and sometimes we work with
others using the internet. When we use technology we always use
our equipment and applications in a way that shows respect for the
rights, safety and privacy of others and ourselves. In looking after our
technology we make sure that we can continue to learn in new and
exciting ways.
