FAQ - FOR FAMILIES / WHANAU + STUDENTS


What online activity can school staff see for students when using a school account?

  • Searches

  • Apps & Websites

  • Videos

  • Google Apps for Education (G-Suite)


Is it possible for the school to see school account activity (websites accessed) at home for students?

  • Yes (if the school has enabled this with Linewize).

How does that work?

  • Filtering protection at home is via a Google Chrome extension that loads when students are signed into their Google Chrome browser with your school Google account on a laptop/computer. (Not phones/tablets)

Can teachers view students' computer screens at home?

  • Yes - Student screens can only be viewed from home by a teacher in Classwize during learning hours set by the school. (If the school has enabled this with Linewize).

What does that mean for other household members?

  • Please refer to the school's specific student ICT policy/digital agreements. It is good practice, on shared devices, other family members sign out of the school account and use a personal account for their internet use.
