CRITERIA - Medical

Generally to be eligible for enrolment on the basis of special circumstances there must be evidence that the student is in receipt of ongoing treatment, counselling or other appropriate intervention.
Enrolment on the basis of special circumstances is generally not considered to be a long term arrangement. In most instances, students need to be working towards re-integration into regular school attendance or a flexible education arrangement. Where considered necessary, independent advice may be sought to ensure that distance education is, and continues to be, the most appropriate provision for the student.

The department recognises that there may be special circumstances where a long-term illness or medical condition may inhibit a student's ability to participate in the learning and engagement requirements of the curriculum. As such, parents may seek an exemption from attendance and participation in line with the Exemption from Attendance and Participation

To be enrolled on medical grounds all of the following criteria must be met:

• the student has a long-term illness or medical condition preventing attendance at school:

• and medical certification is provided to validate that the student cannot attend mainstream school for more than 80 consecutive school days;

• and the principal is satisfied that there are no other appropriate local provisions available to the student;

• and provision of medical certification is required each year to continue enrolment on medical grounds.

"If you are currently enrolled in a school, please see your school coordinator.”

Consent for using third party systems/applications

Agree
Do not agree

Privacy and security

NTSDE uses a number of online resources and apps to work with students in their studies and develop ways students can work together, share information and socialise outside the classroom. Apps have become a routine part of children’s lives in the twenty-first century. Some apps allow you to view and interact with activities involving your child. Some apps store student data in the ‘cloud’ – digital data which may be on the internet and stored in Australia or overseas. The privacy and security of all apps is fully assessed by the Department of Education before schools are allowed to use them.

The apps in use by schools are reviewed regularly. New apps may also be considered based on their benefits to the education and development needs of students.

It is important that you understand the apps being used and how to allow your child to use them. To allow your child to use apps and for their student data to be stored in the cloud, you must give consent by clicking “Agree” or you must clearly inform your child’s school that you give your consent in another way. This is called your ‘express consent’. Your child cannot be involved with an app without your express consent.

School determined core systems

The following third party applications are used at NTSDE and given the integral part they play in the delivery of the school’s education program you are not able to opt-out of these: [Zoom & Compass]. If you have an issue please see the Principal.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Acceptable Use Agreement for Students

Agree
Do not agree

Students may use Information, Communication and Technologies (ICT) at the Northern Territory School of Distance Education (NTSDE) for educational use at home or at other locations, including facilities for class work, research, the preparation of assignments and communication.
The resources provided include computers and peripherals, access to network resources, email, the Department of Education (DoE) Portal and the Internet. Care must be taken to ensure the resources are protected from harm and that no users are exposed to materials considered offensive or illegal. Students and parents should carefully read the conditions below.
To have access to the school’s ICT resources, including online course materials or activities, students must agree to abide by the school’s Acceptable Use Agreement.

The conditions are as follows:

1. Software copyright is to be observed at all times. It is illegal to copy or distribute school software. Illegal software from other sources is not to be copied to, or installed to, the school equipment.

2. When participating in online school related activities students must use ICT facilities, specifically the Internet, for educational, communication and research purposes only:

• Deliberate attempts to look for, or download and use, material that is illegal or which would be thought of as offensive is not permitted.

• Only materials required for school activities as directed by teachers or supervisors may be downloaded. This includes downloading of Audio/Video and Multimedia files and other large files.

• If students should unknowingly navigate to a web site that contains material that may be considered offensive, they must immediately clear the screen and notify their teacher or the ICT Manager.

• Students must not use inappropriate language or harass others when communicating online.

• Privacy and respect for others including work contact, materials and dialogue must be adhered to at all times.

• This agreement acknowledges that there are times when a student may be asked to provide personal details. Such details are not to be provided by the student unless permission is given by a teacher or the ICT Manager.

3. Copyright of materials from electronic resources is to be observed at all times.

4. Students using the school based ICT facilities may only do so under the supervision of school staff. Any students not following staff instructions may have further access restricted or denied.

5. All students enrolled at NTSDE either already have or will be issued with an ntschools email address. Students must use their ntschools email address when communicating with NTSDE staff for school related business or online classes over any video platforms and course work submission.

6. Privacy and network security is to be upheld. Students must not under any circumstances access personal files belonging to others, nor software or areas of the network which are not designated for their use.

7. The sharing of passwords is a security risk and students must not give their password to other students or log in with another user’s name under any circumstances.

8. Students must not forward any meeting invites to others or post them on social media platforms.

9. NTSDE uses several state of the art technologies/applications to deliver virtual lessons. The use of these modern systems/technologies is to enhance the virtual learning experience for our students. Some of these technologies might store student data including names, ages, emails, classrooms, subjects information on servers located outside Northern Territory but within Australia and abide by Australian Privacy laws.

10. All users must log off when leaving a computer or finishing an Interactive Distance Learning (IDL) Session.

11. There should be no disruption to class activities by unauthorised broadcast messages across the school networks or IDL.

12. Virus protection is very important. If students use disks or portable media to transfer work between the school/IDL network computers and computers outside the networks, disks should be scanned for viruses prior to use on the school network.

13. Printing of materials of a personal nature or not associated with school activities is not permitted unless approval is sought from a school staff member. Where approval is given, the printing may incur a charge.

Note: Deliberate misuse of computer equipment and software or deliberate breaches of the conditions of this agreement may result in access restrictions to ICT facilities by the student(s) involved and result in discipline by school administration.

By agreeing to this agreement and using the equipment and resources of NTSDE, both the student and, where applicable the Parent/Guardian, agree to abide by these conditions.
