FACEBOOK RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
In joining our community on Facebook, Thurgoona Public School follows the Department of Education Code of Conduct and Facebook’s Community Standards. COMMENTS
Thurgoona Public School encourages interaction from participants with the understanding that the school does not endorse comments or wall postings made by visitors to the page. We ask that visitors making comments on the page show respect for other users by ensuring discussions remain civil. The school administrators regularly monitor the site and will remove comments that do not adhere to our rule of engagement. We reserve the right 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 Thurgoona Public School students, employees, guests or other individuals. Comments are also subject to Facebook's Terms of Use and Code of Conduct. Remember, your name and photo will be seen next to your comment, visible to all visitors to the page. We will not permit messages selling products or promoting commercial, political or other ventures. Facebook encourages all users to use the "Report" links when they find abusive content. STUDENTS
Facebook Terms and Conditions state no one under the age of 13 years should have a Facebook profile. Therefore, any comments or page fans from primary students on the Thurgoona Public School page will be removed and, if warranted, users will be reported. TAGGING OR NAMING STUDENTS
Photos of students can only be published if the correct Department of Education permission to publish forms have been completed by the student’s parent or guardian. For privacy and protection, please do not tag photos of children, and please do not name them in your comments, unless the previously mentioned permissions is sought. Tagging of parents or friends within the comment box is permitted with the understanding that all other rules of engagement are followed.
