Mobile Phones - Student Use Policy

The Victorian Government takes the safe and responsible use of digital technologies, student safety and wellbeing, and the development of social skills and positive behaviour, very seriously. On this basis, the Hon. James Merlino MP, Minister for Education, announced that a new mobile phone policy would take effect from Term 1 2020.

From Term 1 2020, students who choose to bring mobile phones to school must have them switched off and securely stored during school hours.

Students will be required to store their mobile phones in their lockers for the duration of the school day. Mobile phones owned by students are brought to schools at the owner’s risk. Please refer to the Department’s Personal Goods policy.

Please visit our website to view our school policy on Mobile Phones – Student Use or download below.  We appreciate the support of our families and community in helping us to enforce this mandatory policy.  A list of FAQ’s can be found at https://www.education.vic.gov.au/parents/going-to-school/Pages/Mobile-phone-FAQs.aspx.  If you have any other questions please contact the College on 5996 0144.

2020 Booklists

The last day to order your booklists for delivery at school in 2020 was Tuesday 3rd December.  Parents and students can still order online for  a home delivery. Visit www.lyndhurst.vic.edu.au to access Campions website and view next year's lists.

 

Campion Education resources (booklists) are hosted on a secure server so direct access will only be available through the College website, bypassing the relevant code specific to Lyndhurst Secondary College.

Hard copies of the booklist can be downloaded in the 'Student Life' tab and orders can be placed online via the Campion website but you will be required to input the relevant 4-digit code listed on the hard copy.

Only Online ordering is accepted for 2020 resources.

A Message from Victoria Police

The use of social media to sell/buy goods is becoming increasingly popular with the whole community, especially young people.   Recently, a number of robberies have been committed during this type of transaction.  

If you are planning on using sites such as Marketplace or Gumtree etc, please follow some simple safety precautions:

  • Consider the time and location.   Agree to meet in a public place, where there is likely CCTV coverage, and at a time when there are other people around
  • Take someone with you.   For young people, take a parent/guardian or adult friend/sibling
  • When buying, be wary of items that seem very cheap.   If it seems too good to be true, it probably is
  • If you become a victim, notify police immediately
