To avoid disruption in class and because of the possible harmful effect, pupils are strongly encouraged not to bring mobile phones to school. If however parents feel it absolutely necessary that their child does have a mobile phone on his/ her possession the following rules must be adhered to:

1. The phone must be powered off between 9am. and 2.50pm

2. The phone must be kept out of sight at all times - ie. in school bag.


3. The school authorities accept no responsibility for the safety or security of a mobile phone. The loss or damage of a phone is the responsibility of its owner.

Sanctions:
If the phone is visible or rings during school hours it will be confiscated, given to principal and returned only to a parent.
