Reminder Mobile Phone Policy

Mobile phones brought to school must be switched off and stored securely in lockers during the school day.

The aim of the mobile phone policy for all government schools is to provide:

• a safe environment to learn without inappropriate mobile phone use (including cyberbullying) or distractions
• greater opportunities for social interaction and physical activity during recess and lunchtimes

Parents and Carers can contact their children through the relevant Sub School Offices. 

A 'Principals After School Detention' will apply for any student using their mobile phone whilst at school. 

School Facebook Page

To keep up to date with news and events at school, we encourage all parents and carers to follow the Lilydale High School 'OFFICIAL' Facebook page.
