THIRD PARTY WEBSITE - PERMISSION FORMS

Over the next few weeks parents will begin to receive emails regarding the school use of Third Party Websites. This email will contain a link for the completion of an online survey providing consent for your child/ren to use Third Party Websites as part of their schooling. Each of these websites has been checked by both Education Queensland and the Technology team at Ripley Valley State Secondary College and has been deemed safe for students to use. However, in many cases these sites require students to register as a user and as such we request your consent for this to occur.

MICROSOFT ONE DRIVE – BACKING UP FILES

A common occurrence when students bring in their devices for repair is to hear that their files haven’t been backed to anywhere other than the laptop hard drive. While this isn’t a problem in itself, it becomes an issue if the hard drive is corrupted as all files are then lost. An easy way for student to avoid this problem is to use Microsoft One Drive to back up their files and save them to the cloud as well as on their laptop. For more information on how to sync your device to back up to the cloud please follow the link to Microsoft’s support guide.
