Schools have clear guidelines for the use of social media. Please take the time to review with your Technology team the conditions for posting school events and student photographs. It is a priority to ensure appropriate permissions are reviewed and documents regularly updated as circumstances change for families. Please remind your staff the importance of uploading the photos they take at events and in classrooms of students to your school system and delete the photographs from their mobile devices.

The Australian Federal Police offered these tips for parents and carers – particularly timely when returning to school, first days, carnivals events and our scheduled school photo days.
