Mobile Phone Policy

As you may be aware, the Victorian government has announced a new mobile phone policy that will require students to switch their phones off and securely store them away during the school day. This policy also includes a ban on smart watches.

The policy is designed to support teaching and learning in an environment that is free from unnecessary distractions, disruptions and student inattention caused by the urge to check their phones. At recess and lunch times, students will be better-placed to communicate with each other face to face and/or be involved in activities rather than being focused on a device or on social media.

The mobile phone policy will continue throughout 2021. It requires that students who choose to bring mobiles phones to school must have them switched off and securely put away in their lockers during school hours.  This includes if students attend after school catch up sessions in Homework Club and WAR.

All students have been provided with a locker at the start of the school year.
