The Department of Education (DoE) is requiring  ALL parents/caregivers to provide approval for the use of Third Party Applications (apps) such as QKR.

Online Third Party Services may require:

• students or teachers to create separate student accounts
• students to participate in online activities or upload content
• students or teachers to provide personal student and/or parent information.

These services provide functions such as:

• school or student management
• teacher administration
• student learning content or activities
• communication tools.

Online third party services:

• are provided to you by a vendor external to the Department of Education
• are free or paid services
• can include versions that may be downloaded onto staff and student devices.

There are always some risks involved with providing personal information to a Third Party Service. The level of risk will depend on the vendor’s security and privacy processes.

Third Party Applications used in schools across Western Australia  have been risk assessed by the DoE and this information will be provided as part of the approval process.

Perth Modern School is in the process of collating the various Third Party Applications used across the school and will provide an electronic format for parents to indicate their approval prior to the end of Term 4.

We look forward to all parents completing the approvals process in a timely manner as we enter the 2021 school year.
