SCHOOLS TURN MOBILE PHONES OFF

TO TURN LEARNING ON

Mobile Phone Policy 2022

– A brief summary

“In June 2019, Education Minister James Merlino announced that as of the 2020 school year, mobile phones would not be allowed to be accessed by students during school hours.

Newcomb Secondary College, like all state schools, will be following this policy and implementing it within our own student management structures.

Students are advised not to bring mobile phones to school. If a student brings a phone to school they must lock it safely away within the school provided secure storage before school and may then retrieve it at the end of the day. “
