Please note that the Department of Education has this advice for teachers 'Friending' parents on Facebook:
“The line between your professional and personal life could become blurred, making it difficult to manage your professional relationship with the parents when that becomes necessary. You also need to bear in mind that becoming a Facebook friend with a parent could result in their children getting access to your account as well. You also need to be mindful that you need to be careful what you say on Facebook if you have parents as friends as comments made online can be misunderstood and could result in parental complaints made to your principal.”
In short, please do not ask to friend a member of staff on Facebook as refusal often offends. Respect, Responsibility and Relationships are the core values at Woy Woy South Public School and need to be adhered to by all members of our Facebook community.
