Good afternoon students (and parents),

We received notification last week of a policy change from OSG, in regards to mobile phones and watches at school. Please be aware that you are all required to adhere to this. Note that it includes all wearable technology. As a Campus we need to ensure that we are protecting student safety and that we are complying with this new direction. I know that many of our students do choose to wear watches, such as these. Please ensure that these do not come to school. If staff are aware of students having these devices, it is my expectation that they will be removed and handed into the office for collection at the end of the day.

Information from National

It has recently come to our attention the serious nature of Students having mobile phones and wearable technology at School and on School transport.

The OneSchool Global Board want to control this area in our Schools, and we need your full support to adhere to the prohibition of any of this equipment:

• Student Phones
• Smartwatches
• Fitness Trackers

This includes all student mobile phones, wearable technology such as Smartwatches, fitness trackers (including Fitbit, Garmin, Tom-tom, Samsung and other brands). This means any device that connects to a network, syncs to the internet, tracks movement, or is not school-owned or supplied.
