Mobile Phones

Recently a blitz was carried out across the Year 10 cohort for mobile phones. Of the 50 Year 10 students there were 20 who were carrying a mobile phone. 

Please support the College by discussing this with your child. All students in the possession of a mobile phone received it back at the end of the day and have also lost their 'Good Standing', which means they will be without certain College privileges for the period of one week. 

For Residential students all mobile phones should be left in their dorms or Day students can access phone lockers at the back of Admin to store their phone for the day.
