# MetaPet for Schools
## Privacy and Implementation Note

**Audience:** ICT coordinators, digital learning leaders, assistant principals, principals

This note keeps the classroom-facing language simple while giving leadership and ICT teams enough detail to approve a low-friction pilot.

---

## Implementation Summary

- **No student accounts required** for the classroom baseline
- **On-device storage** for normal use
- **20-minute sessions** with normal teacher supervision
- **No marking workflow** added to existing teacher load
- **No leaderboard, streak pressure, or reward-pressure loops** in the school-facing sequence

---

## School-Facing Privacy Position

For the classroom baseline, the simplest accurate description is:

> Student interaction stays on the device during normal classroom use, with no student account setup required.

That phrasing is suitable for teachers, school leaders and families.

---

## ICT Note

The app already contains more technical internal language and identity systems than teachers need to see. For school rollout, those internal concepts should remain in ICT review material rather than classroom copy.

For this Australia-wide school package, classroom users only need to know:

- the companion runs as a digital system on a device
- companion state and related information are stored locally for normal use
- the classroom sequence does not depend on cloud logins

---

## Curriculum Note for Privacy and Security

Privacy and security references should stay in the implementation note, not in the teacher-facing hero copy.

Relevant Australian Curriculum V9.0 codes for ICT discussion:

- `AC9TDI4P09` - identifying what personal data is stored and shared in online accounts and discussing associated risks
- `AC9TDI6P09` - accessing multiple personal accounts using unique passphrases and explaining the risks of password re-use

These are included here to support leadership and ICT conversations, not to drive day-to-day lesson delivery.

---

## Family and Admin Reassurance

For family communication and leadership approval, the simplest points are:

- students are using a short classroom sequence, not a high-admin platform
- the classroom baseline avoids account setup friction
- the sequence supports Digital Technologies and wellbeing learning
- evidence collection is light and non-graded
- implementation fits within normal school timetables

---

## Local Pilot Checklist

Use this checklist before a pilot:

1. Confirm the devices to be used for the sequence.
2. Confirm the preferred delivery format: individual or pairs.
3. Decide which timetable slot fits best: Digital Technologies mini-lesson, STEM block, wellbeing session, or relief lesson.
4. Choose one evidence tool: student reflection sheet or teacher observation checklist.
5. Confirm who needs the ICT note and who only needs the classroom overview.

## Recommended Positioning for Approval

Describe the sequence as:

> a short Years 3-6 digital companion sequence that supports Australian Curriculum Digital Technologies and wellbeing learning through pattern recognition, system rules, reflection and calm classroom use.
