Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Technology Policy for Students

At St Columba Anglican School, generative AI tools are used to support and enhance teaching and learning. Students are supported to use generative AI tools ethically in both their classwork and assessment tasks. Learning designed for students, including assessment tasks, clearly outlines how generative AI tools should or should not be used. In all contexts, students must provide an acknowledgement of any generative AI used as a part of their assessment task and not claim work generated by any AI tool to be entirely their own creation. This acknowledgement should declare which tools were used and provide a list of all prompts that were entered to generate any information for the task. When using image generating AI, students are required to provide the output images generated and any reference images entered into the tool. Students are also required to make specific references to AI generated work when used throughout their task, as they would when citing other information sources.
