HC Today Privacy
The purpose of our school website, HCTODAY.CA is to provide students, parents, staff and other members of the community with up-to-date information about Holy Cross. Photographs and videos of students involved in school activities are an integral part of our web site and we will strive to display as many photographs and videos as possible. This being said, we take the responsibility of protecting the privacy of our students and staff very seriously.
Photographs and videos taken at large, widely attended events such as sporting activities, plays, school assemblies, award celebrations and masses will appear on the school website. In the event students are identified, only first names and the initial of the surname will be used. Full surnames or other personal information will not be included on our web site in these cases.
Often, students in our school are presented with awards or other forms of recognition and it may be appropriate to publish the full names and other appropriate information along with photographs. In such cases, this information will only be published if the parents or guardians (or students if the student is 18 years of age or older) have indicated they have given their permission when completing the student registration form.
Photographs of individual or small groups of students involved in non-public activities such as working in the classroom or conferencing with a teacher will be published on our web site if the parents or guardians (or students if the student is 18 years of age or older) have indicated they have given their permission when completing the student registration form. Again, except in very special situations, only first names and the initial of the surname will be used to identify students.
If you have any comments or concerns about this policy, please contact principal Paul Walsh.
