  1. Learning in the classroom should not be affected by mobile devices such as Ipods, mobile phones and cameras/video cameras.
  2. Inappropriate use of technology should be addressed through pastoral care programs and punitive measures such as confiscating phones. This is particularly relevant to inappropriate use of items that affect student safety such as lasers.
  3. The school will not be responsible for loss, theft or damage of any mobile technology device
  4. The school recognizes that in certain situations, mobile technology such as cameras and mobile phones can be used as educational tools.
