Student Online Safety
Equipping our students with the knowledge and skills to stay safe online forms an important part of the college curriculum. The college also has an Acceptable Use policy for the use of ICT including online platforms.
The named contact for eSafety education at the college is Mr C. Gough – Leader of Digital Strategy.

Policy Agreements
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
New technologies have become integral to the lives of children and young people in modern society, both within schools and in their lives outside of school. The internet provides young people with powerful tools and applications for research, collaboration and social interaction. Where used responsibly they stimulate discussion, promote creativity and support teaching and learning. They also provide opportunities for staff to be more creative and productive in their work
It is the policy of Corpus Christi Catholic College that all authorised staff and volunteers should have an entitlement to safe internet access at all times.
