Facebook Terms & Conditions
In joining our community on Facebook, Busby West Public School follows both the DEC Code of Conduct and Facebook terms and conditions. Comments Policy:
Busby West Public School encourages interaction from Facebook users but is not responsible for comments or wall postings made by visitors to the page. Comments posted also do not in any way ref
lect the opinions or policies of Busby West Public School. Busby West Public School asks that people making comments on the page show respect for their fellow users by ensuring the discussion remains civil, especially since Facebook allows individuals 13 and over to join. Remember that your name and photo will be seen next to your comment, visible to the thousands of visitors to the page. We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to remove comments that are racist, sexist, abusive, profane, violent, obscene, spam, that advocate illegal activity, contain falsehoods or are wildly off-topic, or that libel, incite, threaten or make ad hominem attacks on Busby West Public School students, employees, guests or other individuals. We also do not permit messages selling products or promoting commercial, political or other ventures. Facebook encourages all users to utilise the "Report" links when they find abusive content. When viewing photos do not ‘tag’ or identify students by full name or by first name only. It is easy for an outsider to combine the student’s first name, your surname and the student’s photo in order to identify and possibly approach a student of Busby West Public School; this is particularly important for any custody issues in the community. Students:
Please note that the Facebook terms and conditions state that no one under the age of 13 years should have a Facebook profile. Therefore, any primary students who comment on the Busby West Public School page will have the comment deleted immediately. Friending Staff on Facebook:
Please note that the Department of Education and Communities has this advice for teachers 'Friending' parents on Facebook:
The line between your professional and personal life could become blurred making it difficult to manage your professional relationship with the parents when that becomes necessary. You also need to bear in mind that becoming a Facebook friend with a parent could result in their children getting access to your account as well. You also need to be mindful that you need to be careful what you say on Facebook if you have parents as friends as comments made online can be misunderstood and could result in parental complaints made to your principal. In short, please do not ask to friend a member of staff on Facebook
as refusal often offends. Please view Facebook and DEC User Policies:
