Fountain Schools values the achievements, experiences, and activities of its learners and recognizes the importance of celebrating school life through photographs, videos, and other forms of media. This Photography and Media Consent Policy outlines how photographs, video recordings, and media content involving learners may be captured, used, stored, and shared in a responsible and respectful manner.

The school may occasionally take photographs, videos, and other media recordings during academic activities, co-curricular programmes, school events, ceremonies, competitions, excursions, and other educational activities for purposes that support learning, communication, and the promotion of school programmes and achievements.

Media content may be used for educational, informational, and promotional purposes, including school publications, newsletters, brochures, presentations, notice boards, official social media platforms, and the school website. The school is committed to ensuring that all media content is used appropriately and in a manner that respects the dignity, privacy, and well-being of every learner.

Fountain Schools recognizes the important role of parents and guardians in decisions relating to the use of their children’s photographs and media content. Parents and guardians may be requested to provide consent regarding the use of photographs and media involving their children for school-related purposes. The school respects parental preferences and will make reasonable efforts to honor any limitations or restrictions communicated regarding media use.

The school is committed to exercising care when publishing photographs and media content and will avoid sharing information that may unnecessarily compromise the privacy, safety, or security of learners. Personal information will not be disclosed alongside photographs or media content except where necessary and appropriate and in accordance with applicable laws and school policies.

Parents, guardians, visitors, and members of the school community are expected to use photographs and recordings taken during school events responsibly and respectfully. The unauthorized use, distribution, alteration, or publication of images or recordings that may compromise the dignity, privacy, or safety of learners or staff is strongly discouraged.

All photographs, recordings, and media content created by or on behalf of the school remain subject to applicable intellectual property rights and may be retained by the school for legitimate educational, historical, administrative, and promotional purposes.

This Photography and Media Consent Policy may be reviewed and updated periodically to reflect changes in legal requirements, technological developments, and school practices.
