Mobile Phone Policy

Important Victorian Government Regulations - Mobile Phone Policy

Families are asked to support your child to follow the mobile phone use policy and to support your children to become safe and responsible technology users. 

This is a Victorian Government regulation. 

PLEASE ENSURE YOUR CHILD FOILLOWS THE MOBILE PHONE POLICY 

Victorian schools implemented a mobile phone policy in 2020.  This policy continues in 2023.

It helps focus students' attention on learning in the classroom by providing them with:

a)  a safe environment to learn without inappropriate mobile phone use (including        

      cyberbullying) or distractions.

b)  greater opportunities for social interaction and physical activity during recess and 

      lunchtimes.  

The use of technology is important, but the risks and benefits from its use needs to be carefully managed.   Students will still be able to bring a mobile phone to and from school, but it will need to be turned off and stored securely away in the school supplied lockers for the entire school day.  Parents and carers can still contact their children through the school office in emergencies.

If your child cannot follow this process, they are asked to leave their phones at home or hand them in to be locked away for the day.
