Have your say on mobile phones use at school

MHS Mobile Phone Flow Chart

Parents, carers, students, and the community are invited to have their say and join a working party, on how the Department of Education's Mobile Phone Policy is implemented at Morisset High School 

The Department of Education has reviewed its Mobile Phone and Devices Policy for schools, which means Morisset High School's process of dealing with student mobile phone and device use at school is under review.

Smart phones and devices can be a great tool to support students' learning if used correctly. Currently, we have a process in place were students are expected to keep their phones in their bags, and not use them in class unless instructed by their teacher. In our classrooms, the signage below - green for go and red for stop - is used to show students what is expected of them.

Being respectful, responsible, safe and engaged learners are PBL values and cornerstones of our school. Students discuss correct mobile phone usage as part of their daily mentoring classes.

Above is the current behaviour management flowchart that steps-out how students who misuse their mobile phones and devices are managed. 

Our school community - parents, carers, students, staff and the community - are invited to have input on the future of how the Department's policy is implemented at Morisset High School.

A working party, led by the PBL Team has been formed and parents, carers and community are invited to contribute to the school process review. To express an interest in joining the working party email the school at: morisseth.school@det.nsw.edu.au
