Terms
of Technology Usage
For Students of
ST. BONIFACE
CATHOLIC SCHOOL
Use of the Computers, Digital Cameras, Internet, etc., in
this school must be in support of education and research and consistent with
the educational objectives of the school.
Access to computers and people all over the world brings the
availability of material that may not be of educational value. The school is taking precautions to restrict
access to controversial materials. On a
global network, however, it is impossible to control all materials and an
industrious user may discover controversial information. Technology and Internet usage is subject to
terms and conditions listed below in order to protect the students. Use of the technology and the Internet is a
privilege-not a right, and is subject to these terms and conditions.

altering the files and/or the hardware on the school computers will be
