The school would like to remind the wider school community of our policy relating to the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) when completing assessment work at Hastings Boys' High School.
The school acknowledges that AI applications (such as ChatGPT) can be useful tools to get ideas that can then be further developed during the research process. However, copying text from AI applications and then pasting it into assessment work is not permitted under any circumstances.
The school policy on plagiarism clearly states this. Earlier in the year both students and whānau were informed of this policy, and students in particular are well aware that they are not permitted to use text generated by AI and pass it off as their own.
Please note that any student who is deemed to have used AI text in their assessment will receive a Not Achieved grade and it will be recorded as plagiarism on KAMAR.
If you would like to discuss our plagiarism policy further, please feel free to contact the school at any stage
