Rationale Hoppers Crossing Secondary College recognises that students instruction and student learning will change as telecommunications and other new technologies alter the ways in which information may accessed, communicated and transferred through access to online services. The College also recognises that electronic information research skills are now required as essential knowledge for students, and as future employees. In responding to these changes, the College actively supports access by students to the widest variety of information resources together with the development, by staff, of appropriate skills to analyse an evaluate such resources. Access to telecommunications will enable students to explore thousands of libraries, databases, bulletin boards and the Internet while exchanging messages with people throughout the world. The College believes that the benefits to students from being able to access and retrieve information from these resources and the opportunities this provides for collaboration exceed the disadvantages. However, access is a privilege and not a right. Access entails responsibility.
