In response to the NSW Government and Department of Education’s (DoE) Student Use of Mobile Phones in Schools Policy, our school has developed the West Wallsend High School Mobile Phone and Personal Technology Procedure to guide the way mobile phones and personal technology are accessed by students during the school day.
The following procedure aims to increase focus in classrooms, remove distractions and to promote positive social interaction, while reducing the potential for negative incidents involving social media and online issues.
