Blog Guidelines

Internet safety is of utmost importance in schools. Through blogging, the students in 4 have the opportunity to learn about appropriate online behaviours in an authentic and supervised setting.




The following guidelines have been established to ensure the safety of our students when blogging:

  • Students' first names, photos, work, video and school name MAY be included on the blog.
  • Students' surnames, address, email address, phone number, specific plans, date of birth and other personal information WILL NOT be included on the blog.
  • All comments will be screened and approved before they are included on the blog.
  • Students are encouraged to comment on other class / student blogs with teacher / parent supervision.
  • Parents are asked to use their first name only so as not to identify their child. Eg. "Jane - Jack's mum"
  • All commenters must be polite, respectful and courteous.
  • Others' work, images, music or videos will not be used without permission and attribution.
  • Proof-read your comments carefully. Students should have a family member check for spelling mistakes before submitting a comment.
  • Always write in full sentences and words – no “text talk” please!


If you have any other questions or comments about the security of our blog, please contact Mrs Thorburn..
