Digital Citizenship Agreement . . .
This agreement has six conditions or facets of being a Digital Citizen. Aspects of this agreement link back to the St John’s College Values and Habits.
- The S of SJC stands for Show Respect. Respect yourself, respect others and respect the hardware you have access to.
- The J of SJC stands for Jesus as our role model. As a Saint John’s man we should look to treat others and their property with respect. We should look to protect others from harm and we should always act and behave in an ethical and moral manner. Say yes to doing the right thing.
