Data limits
Giving your child unlimited data allows your child to bypass the College’s web filtering protections whenever they choose to do so. Giving your child a small amount of data per month (4GB, for example), means that your child will have access to data services when not on a wireless platform (such as travelling), and will be able to access services such as iMessage, WhatsApp, Google Maps and general internet browsing when needed, but it is not enough data for your child to
use their phone services to bypass the College’s web filtering protections.
The College’s web filtering platform is in place to protect your child from harmful content, and to allow your child to focus on educational type activities at the required times (social media access only being allowed during free time, for example). Bypassing the filter removes these protections for your child and blocks the ability for the College to help focus your child on educational activities.
