As you would have heard in the news recently, the WA Government has imposed a new Mobile Phone Policy at all Government Schools. The implications for all Anzac Terrace students are that all mobile phones must be handed in at the School Office and collected in the afternoon (we also ask that mobiles are clearly marked with student’s name).  No mobile phones are allowed in school bags or in their pockets.  Any mobile phones found in the possession of students can and will be confiscated, with parents having to collect from myself.  There is now also an implication for smart watches.  Students who wear smart watches must have the watch in “Flight Mode or Aeroplane Mode” during school hours.  If the smart watch cannot be placed in Flight Mode, then it too must be handed in at the beginning of the school day and collected at the end of the day.  In no circumstances are students to bring ear pods or other wireless listening devices to school without permission from myself.  As has always been the case, if you would like your child to bring a mobile to school for use during travel to and from school, you will need to complete a permission form available from the School Office or on our website.  If you have any questions/concerns regarding the new mobile phone policy, please contact me at your earliest convenience.
