Mount View High School will be implementing the New South Wales Department of Education’s (NSW DoE) Mobile Phone Ban, commonly referred to as the “gate to gate mobile phone ban”.
While mobile phones and other such digital devices have substantial benefits, their use in schools can detract from learning, have shown to decrease in long term learning achievement and contribute to negative social interactions and student wellbeing. The Mount View High School Mobile Phone Policy and Procedures purpose is for the management of mobile phones and related electronic devices within the school. In addition to mobile phones, digital devices that have the capability to make and or receive calls, messaging capabilities or control wireless headphones are included in procedures.
Laptops and tablets are managed through MVHS and NSW DoE Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy and procedures.
