From Term 4 this year, students are not permitted to use mobile phones, wireless ear phones & headphones, smart watches and Bluetooth speakers while they are on school grounds.
To support this change, we have produced a survival guide for students and parents to check through so that everyone is ready for Term 4.
Please review this guide with your student, take action and make changes to ensure that they have appropriate equipment for school (BYO device, wired headphones, ATM card, simple watch).
In addition, please remind your student that the following communication protocols are in place during the school day:
- During the school day, students access COMPASS using their BYO Device to stay up-to-date with their news feed, notifications and room changes
- Parents and employers can email students anytime throughout the day and the student can respond at an appropriate time using their BYO device
- Parents and employers can text message students anytime throughout the day and the student will retrieve the message from their phone at 2.25pm
- Emergency contact can be made by phone to the school office. Office staff will relay this message to students through COMPASS.
We appreciate the support of our parents as we move to a school environment that enables our students to be focused on their learning and on building positive relationships with each other.
