NSW public secondary school students will be banned from using mobile phones at school from Term 4 2023, as the Minns Government delivers on an election commitment to improve students’ learning and social development.
The ban on mobile phones will apply during class, recess and lunch times, as is the case in NSW public primary schools. Students will be allowed to carry their phones while travelling to and from school.
This new policy is being implemented to increase focus and learning in classrooms, remove distractions and promote positive social interactions. The implementation of this policy is a requirement under the Students’ Use of Mobile Phones in Schools Policy.
At Shalvey Campus, we will be following the 'Off and Away All Day' strategy. The new mobile phone policy will come into effect from day 1 of Term 4, 2023.
