Reminder: Mobile Phones & Personal Devices at School
Students must keep mobile phones and personal devices, such as smartwatches, off and away during school hours. This ensures a safe and focused learning environment while encouraging offline time for physical activity, play, and face-to-face connections.
Students may only use their personal device if they have received approval from the school to use it for an exempted purpose. Please refer to the school’s mobile phone policy for details.
If you need to contact your child during school hours, please use the school’s formal communication channels so staff can assist. Similarly, we will contact you directly if needed. If your child feels unwell or has an issue at school, please encourage them to speak with a staff member first.
Thank you to students for respecting these expectations and to families for your ongoing support.
Reminder: Smoking and vaping are strictly prohibited on all school premises and at school activities in South Australia, as per the SA Smoke-free Policy.
