Technology Guide
The Technology Guide provides students and parents with essential information about cybersafety, device requirements, and digital security at ECC. Our goal is to ensure a safe, productive, and technology-enhanced learning environment for all students.
Cybersafety & Internet Security
All school network activity is monitored through our internet security system, which:
-
Scans and analyses internet traffic for inappropriate activity.
-
Blocks access to unsafe or unsuitable websites.
-
Creates a secure learning environment for students and staff.
We encourage safe online habits and work closely with students to foster responsible digital citizenship.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
Students in Years 7-12 are to bring their own laptops to school and must:
-
Follow ECC policies and behaviour expectations when using their device.
-
Have the required apps and textbooks installed before lessons.
-
Ensure their device is charged and ready for use in class.
-
Maintain space on their device for school-related files.
-
Report any damage to parents/carers promptly.
Important
-
Students may be instructed to delete apps if used inappropriately at school.
-
Devices may not be used during breaks unless supervised by a staff member.
-
Non-compliance with device expectations will be handled through the College’s discipline processes.
Choosing the Right Device
ECC has specific requirements for student laptops to ensure compatibility and smooth operation in class.
Parent & Carer Responsibilities
Parents and carers play a key role in supporting students with their devices at home. This includes:
-
Encouraging responsible and safe device use.
-
Ensuring the device is charged and well-maintained.
-
Assisting with software updates and troubleshooting when needed.
