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:
Confirm the devices to be used for the sequence.
Confirm the preferred delivery format: individual or pairs.
Decide which timetable slot fits best: Digital Technologies mini-lesson, STEM block, wellbeing session, or relief lesson.
Choose one evidence tool: student reflection sheet or teacher observation checklist.
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.
