We understand that some children may need to bring a mobile phone or smart device to school, particularly if they walk to and from school independently.

Mobile phones and smart devices are permitted in school only under the following conditions:

• Devices must be switched off on arrival at school.

• Devices must not be kept in children’s bags during the school day.

• Devices must be handed to the class teacher at registration and will be returned at the end of the school day.

• Devices will be stored securely in a locked location during the school day.

• Devices must not be switched on or used anywhere on the school site, including toilets, playgrounds and corridors.

If a child is found using a mobile phone or smart device during the school day, the device will be confiscated and a parent or carer will be required to collect it from the school office. Continued misuse may result in the withdrawal of permission for the child to bring a device to school.

The school takes reasonable steps to store devices securely; however, mobile phones and smart devices are brought to school at the owner’s risk.

If you would like your child to bring a mobile phone or smart device to school, please complete the Mobile Phone and Smart Device Consent Form.
