Please note: The Government has introduced regulations that require all state and state-integrated schools to have student phone rules in use. The regulations require that schools must ensure students do not use or access a phone while they are attending school, including during lunch time and breaks. We are currently developing a policy in support of this and will share with our community once this is established. In the meantime, if your child does require a cell phone after school for transportation/safety purposes, please email your child’s teacher to let them know. Mobile phones will be collected by class teachers in the morning and kept locked away for safety purposes during the school day.
