Reinstate Websites Banned By Selwyn College

The issue

Recently, Selwyn College has blocked many sites in an attempt to stop gaming in school, but this has come at a cost for many. Firstly, in banning Steam,  the renowned gaming website used for purchasing, downloading and launching games, the school has cut access to many people who use it to launch Blender, an essential app for many Technology subjects. Secondly, in banning Discord, the messaging site made for gamers, many people are unable to send files for many technology subjects that Gmail deems dangerous. Thirdly, in banning chess.com... why would you even do that, it didn't even work anyway.

This petition demands that Steam and Discord are reinstated on school internet immediately, with the other banned sites following suit.
