3. Can a teacher copy images from the internet to use in a learning resource or PowerPoint presentation?

8. Can we publish students’ artworks in the school magazine?
Generally, the students, as authors of their works, will own copyright inthe artworks. The school should obtain permission from the students (or their parent/guardian if they are under 15 years) to reproduce the artworks.
9. Can I take photos of my students to use in the school magazine?
Check if your school has permission to take photos of students. Generally, you will need written permission from the student (and parent if the student is under 15) to publish their photograph in a school or departmental publication. Schools can, for example, seek permission from students to be photographed, filmed or recorded for school purposes at the beginning of each school year.
