Mobile phone policy
From year 6 boys may walk to and from school independently. For this reason they may bring a phone to school which is then deposited with the school office upon arrival at the start of the day, and returned before they leave at the end of the day. Where boys bring phones for this reason, we encourage non-smart phones.
