Heaton Public School students, staff, families and community will accept “Only the Best” in every forum. We will celebrate the achievement of our students, staff and community. The page will also be used to spread information, reminders and instant updates. We proactively support the use of social media and believe that all members of our school community are responsible digital citizens. Heaton Public School community members respect the privacy of all. We insist that any and all photos taken by our community members while on the school grounds during school performances, assemblies, special events and/or at other times should only contain images of the photographer’s own child/children. No images of other people’s children should ever be posted on this or any other social media site without the express permission of the parents/caregivers of those children. We will not publish individual students’ names on this page unless it is to celebrate individual achievement and we have obtained express permission to publish from parents/caregivers. Only the administrators of this page will be allowed to publish student names at any time. Should anyone else publish student names such posts will be removed as soon as possible. Heaton Public School values the responsible use of social media articulated in a range of policies and guidelines that govern the expectations of online behaviour. We reserve the right to remove any content that we believe is in breach of these policies, guidelines and the values of our school. Heaton Public School will remove content if it contains:
• Offensive abusive, obscene, profane, hateful or racist content, links or images
• Comments that threaten or defame any person or organisation
• The direct, full name or descriptive reference to an individual, irrespective of the post’s tone
• Solicitations and advertisements by other organisations or endorsements by other organisations or endorsements of other organisations – if you would like to advertise please contact our office for opportunities to advertise in our school newsletter.
• Multiple or repetitive posts by a single user
• Repetitive posts copied and pasted or duplicated by single or multiple users
• Names or images of students published by anyone other than the page administrators.
• Anything else that the school deems inappropriate and does not align with our values, standards, policies and guidelines. For further information regarding the use of our official page or any other of our social media channels please contact the school directly (02) 4952 6022.
