Cell Phones at School

Cell phones are a very useful tool but they can also be a big distraction and can lead to unhealthy forms of interaction.

Cell phones may be brought to school but they should not be used during the school day from 8:45am to 3:15pm. The exception to this is where the student has been given express permission to use a phone by a teacher and is under that teacher’s supervision.

If a cell phone is used during the school day without permission, it will be confiscated. The confiscation and the student can only retrieve the phone end of the school day. If the student is found to breach the cell phone rule a second time, then a dean will contact parents to negotiate an appropriate consequence.

If you need to urgently contact your son/daughter during the school day, please contact the school reception.
