Mobile Phone Policy

Students and families are reminded that mobile phones are not to be seen or heard between 8.30 am to 3.30 pm. This is a government mandate that is designed to help students maximise their learning whilst at school.

Research has found the unregulated presence of mobile phones in school can undermine students’ capacity to think, learn, remember, pay attention and regulate emotions. It is with this in mind that staff at DSC follow up instances of mobile phone use during school hours by asking students to take their phone to their sub-school for safekeeping until the end of the day. When this occurs students may be issued with lunchtime detention, and parents are called when students repeatedly misuse their phone during school hours.

Families are asked to speak with their children about this and encourage them to keep their phone in their locker with a secure lock for the duration of the school day.

Students are reminded that earphones/earbuds are also not permitted during school hours. Students will be asked to take them to their sub-school for safekeeping if they are seen using them.

The Learning Relationship - Parents, Teachers and the College

Parents and carers of Year 7-9 students are warmly invited to attend an information evening on Monday, 26 April at 6.30 pm at the College.

The 'Learning Relationship - Parents, Teachers and the College' presentation will focus on sharing expectations about attendance, support and actions that build and strengthen the relationship between home and school. The stronger this relationship the greater the learning for your child.

Please keep in mind that places are limited and you will need to book tickets via Compasstix.
