Dear Parent/Guardian,

The use of web based educational resources has risen steadily over the last decade and are increasingly being used by teachers across Queensland to improve student learning outcomes. Our school and teachers make decisions about the best technology to meet the needs of our students. Sometimes it is beneficial for students to utilise services provided by third party web-based providers.

Trinity Bay SHS wishes to utilise the third-party web-based service provider/s listed below to aid students learning. For your student to use the service the teacher will need to register them as a user. Registering with these providers requires student personal information to be disclosed to the provider of the service. In the case of the services outlined below they are private companies that are hosted onshore in Australia/and/or/outside of Australia. Outside of Australia means that data that is entered to register for these sites will be stored on servers that are not based in Australia and therefore are not bound by Queensland’s privacy laws. Registration may include disclosing some or all of the following information about your student:

• Student Name • Student ID • Age   • Gender   • Year group   • Class Teacher    • Student School Email

We need your permission for the registration and use of these sites by your student. It is not compulsory for you to provide this consent – If you decide not to provide consent, this will not adversely affect academic achievement, or any relationships with teachers or the school.

Below is a list of the third-party web-based service provider/s that we use:
