Rules of Engagement
Kirkton Public School follows the Department of Education Code of Conduct and Facebook’s Community Standards and by joining our community, you agree to abide by these standards. Students:
Facebook Terms and Conditions state no one under the age of 13 years should have a Facebook profile. Therefore, any comments or page fans from primary students on the Kirkton Public School pa
ge will be removed and, if warranted, users will be reported. Tagging or Naming Student Photos:
Photos of students can only be published if the correct Department of Education permission to publish forms have been completed by the student’s parent or guardian. The photo must be removed after one year of publishing unless further permission from the parent is sought. The school will remove photos falling into this category at the end of each school year. For privacy and protection, please do not tag photos of children, and please do not name them in your comments, unless the previously mentioned permissions is sought. On rare occasions and with parental permission, students may be named by the school Facebook administration team. Tagging of parents or friends within the comment box is permitted with the understanding that all other rules of engagement are followed. Comments:
