Digital Citizenship at Terry Fox School
All members of our school community are expected to be good digital citizens who demonstrate respect, responsible behavior and overall good character when using technology and/or engaging in online activities.
Being a Good Digital Citizen
Our online actions and presence are a direct reflection of ourselves. As part of fostering a positive online presence, students should:
- Keep passwords and other personal information confidential
- Respect and protect the personal information and work of others
- Use respectful language when communicating online
- Handle all devices with care, ensuring they are ready to be used by others
- Notify a teacher in the case of inappropriate behaviour by others
Digital Citizenship at the CBE
Digital citizenship is about using technology and participating in digital environments. It is key to helping our students learn to use available technology responsibly in the classroom and beyond. Our school has a Digital Citizenship Plan that is updated annually, addressing how we work to build a community where we live and work together as digital citizens.
Visit the CBE website to learn more about how we support students to develop online safety skills and be good digital citizens.

Student personal mobile devices are limited or restricted at all schools, unless required for health or medical needs, to support specialized learning needs, and for educational purposes. Learn more about our BYOD (bring your own device) rules.
