Changes to Student Phone Management Policy from Term 4, 2023

Changes to Student Phone Management Policy from Term 4, 2023

From Term 4 2023, students are not permitted to use mobile phones while they are on school grounds.

To support this change, we have produced a survival guide for students and parents/carers to check so that everyone is ready for Term 4.

Please review this guide with your student, take action and make changes to ensure that they have appropriate equipment for school (BYO device, wired headphones, Debit card/cash, watch).

In addition, please remind your student that the following communication protocols are in place during the school day:

  • During the school day, students access Sentral using their BYO Device to stay up-to-date with notifications
  • Parents/Carers and employers can email students anytime throughout the day and the student can respond at an appropriate time using their BYO Device
  • Emergency contact can be made by phone to the school office. Office staff will relay this message to students.

We appreciate the support of our BGHS school community as we move to a school environment that enables our students to be focused on their learning and on building positive relationships with each other.
