Enrolment @ GisInt

Online publication of student images and work

The school uses a range of learning technologies to enhance student learning. These include email, and the Internet. From time to time, we publish on the school’s website and social media sites (such as Facebook); material for educational purposes, to share the results of learning within the school community, and to promote the school within the wider community. This may include examples of students’ schoolwork and images of students and groups of students in activities at the school. Images of students may include scanned, digital, or video of them taking part in school or class activities.

Teachers will adhere to the Code of Ethics as a guide for safe and effective use of all social media. Please refer to the Ministry of Education's guidelines.

Objectives

There are three main reasons the school publishes student material online:

• to educate the student in accordance with the national curriculum, including the role and use of technology in society;
• to encourage the student to be part of and participate in the school community; and
• to promote the school in the wider community.

Parent information

In order for us to make an informed decision around the classroom placement of your child, we invite you to provide us with information from your perspective as a parent/caregiver. This information will be used in conjunction with information from the previous school and the student themselves to determine placement at Gisborne Intermediate.
