WELCOME FROM THE PRINCIPAL OF INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL SUVA
Parents, guardians and teachers have one important trait in
common, that being that we all want the best for our children
and students. These young people spend much of their life in
school and at International School Suva we strive to make this
a happy place where they want to come every day.
Whilst academic achievement is important, and we are proud
of the achievement of our students, this is not the only
measure of success. We want students at International School
Suva not to go through life watching from the sidelines but
instead to take on new challenges head-on with courage and
commitment. They are taught to question their actions and to
reflect on what they want to achieve, and to then take action
to achieve these goals.
We believe that all students from our youngest to our eldest
have the potential to bring about positive change at home, in
their communities and further afield. We work to make
International School Suva a safe place where students can
test out their ideas with the support of their teachers and
friends.
Whether it is in the classroom, on the sporting field, as part of
service, on camp or on the stage we believe in providing
opportunities for students to stretch themselves and for them
to realise their potential. We expect a lot from our students
and through this they start to expect a lot from themselves.
Everyone can do more than they think and we aim to show
our students what is possible.
Thank you for your interest in International School Suva and I
hope you want to find out more.
Anna Marsden

STUDENT NETWORK AND INTERNET USE AGREEMENT 2015
As we educate our students for a rapidly changing world, we at International School Suva
believe it is important for our students to learn how to use information technology
constructively and responsibly. Our goal in providing access to the Internet is to promote
educational excellence by facilitating resource sharing and communication.
The Internet is a global network linking computers at universities, schools, government
departments, business and homes. On the Internet, one can access information and
communicate with people all over the world through web sites and discussion forums, as well
as through electronic mail (e-mail). The use of the Internet will provide many direct and
indirect benefits to our students.
Although the Internet is of significant educational value, care needs to be taken with its use in
order to utilize it efficiently, effectively and appropriately.
The use of the Internet at International School Suva will be developed as part of the students’
learning program. This will be carried out as far as is reasonable, under the direct supervision
of and instruction by a teacher or in a supervised environment such as the school library or
computer laboratory.
Due to the size and dynamic nature of the Internet, many kinds of materials, some unsuitable
for young people, find their way onto the system. Whilst the school will take all reasonable
precautions to prevent inappropriate materials being accessed, and all sites visited by all users
at the school are monitored and recorded, responsibility for their internet usage also lies with
the student.
Each student /family will have different views about access to all material on the Internet and
the use of e-mail. Thus, it is important that families read and discuss the Student Network and
Internet Use Agreement together. This agreement, below, must be signed by both students
and parents/guardians and returned to the School.
As a user of International School Suva computer network:

I realise that access to the Internet is a privilege not a right. I accept that inappropriate use
of the Internet will lead to penalties. The severity of the penalty will be determined by the
Head of Primary, Head of Middle School, Head of High School and the Principal in
consultation with the IT Coordinator.

I realise that the use of the School’s Internet connection is for educational purposes. I will
not use the Internet to access unacceptable material. If I happen to find material that is
inappropriate, I will notify the teacher-in-charge immediately and not share or identify the
location of this material to other students.

I will not harm the computer network by deleting or corrupting files or applications, by
downloading files and software programs without authorization or by introducing
computer viruses etc.

I will not harm the computer systems by deliberately damaging or removing any parts of
the computer without permission.

I realise that I am a representative of International School Suva when I am on the Internet.
I may be alone with the computer, but what I say and do can be viewed globally. I will
therefore be polite and use appropriate language.

I will use the Internet safely by not giving out personal information that I would not want
any stranger to have, such as my name, address, phone number, birth date, student
number, school attending, or any other “bio-data”.

I will not break copyright laws and/or redistribute another’s work nor will I use another
person’s work without correctly acknowledging them.

I will log-on using only my “username” and I will keep my password secret. I will not use a
computer that has been left logged on by mistake.

I will not save any games, programs or inappropriate files in my home folder, or on the “CDrive”.

I will not download games, pictures, music or material not related to my school work from
the internet.

Printing – toner, especially colour, and paper are expensive, so I will only print one copy
and only when I have to, to stay within my printing quota. I will not ask other students to
print for me, using their quota.

I will not change printer setting in the computer or on the printers.

I will come to the Computer Centre /Computer Rooms to work and not to play computer
games or for entertainment. I realize many games can and do corrupt settings on the
networked computers making them unusable for students and teachers wishing to do
work.

I will not remove any of the plugs or leads on the computers. Unplugging cables could lead
to hardware malfunction.

I will not damage any of the computer equipment.

I will not change or delete any of the program files or settings on the computers.

I will not bring any food or drink into the computer labs.

I will not run around or call out etc. in the computer rooms

I will not interfere with the work, files or the computer of any other student or teacher.

I will not send “pop-up” messages over the network.

When I have finished computing, I will log-off correctly, switch my computer off, and push
my stool in. Students found not to log-off correctly are liable to have their “Account”
disabled.

Lost Property – I will hand in any property I have found to one of the computer lab staff.

I will not visit any inappropriate web sites (e.g. pornography, violence etc.)

I will report any inappropriate web site I may find by accident and leave it immediately.

I will not send inappropriate, offensive, snail/chain email messages.

I will not download or transmit any inappropriate material.

I will not play music without my teacher’s permission and accept that I may lose music
access if I do.

I will never play music without headphones or so loudly I disturb others near me.

I will not engage in cyber bullying activities and will report any occurrence to the teacher in
charge.

I understand and agree that my personal account is an International School Suva property.
It can be audited or cleared at any time as part of Network Security and maintenance.
PENALTY: The consequences of engaging in inappropriate use of the Network will vary
according to the seriousness of the breach. Students breaking this agreement put their use of
the School Network at risk.
