Mobile phones / Smart Watches

Mobile Phones and Smart watches can be a valuable safety tool for travel arrangements for students and can allow the communication between parents and students during the afternoon bus trips, however these devices can also be a distraction to learning and provide students with an added perceived need to remain connected at all times.

GPCC bans the use of mobile phones and smart watches (or similar devices such as ear buds) during school operating hours (8:45am – 3:15pm). Phones must be kept in bags and not seen or used throughout the school day. Students who choose to wear a smart watch must have the connectivity of the watch disabled – eg they must not be able to use any function except tell the time. They should not be receiving or sending messages to parents throughout the day or accessing any areas of the internet via their device. We also ask that you not communicate with your child on their device during school hours as they are not permitted to use/check or interact with their devices. If devices, including watches are being used during school time (recess, lunch or class time) they will be removed from the student and given to Acting Head of Primary to be collected at the end of the day.
