Mobile Phones Policy

The Department of Education has mandated that schools have a policy and secure storage facilities for students who bring mobile phones and devices to school. School Council has ratified the Valkstone Mobile Phones Policy. We are in the process of discussing its implementation at a practical level and procuring secure storage units. The policy will be available on our new website. Students will be informed of the expectations and practices and families will be informed through the website, newsletter and Compass.
