Should you send or receive an email containing a blacklisted word, a copy will automatically be sent to the HopeHigh School Postmaster and the word(s) will be removed from the email(s).
If you are found to be emailing offensive content, you may be banned and/or contacted by one of the ICT Support team and SLT
