Following consultation with staff, students and the school association, Huonville High School is considering implementing a policy that will ensure personal devicessuch as mobile phones are not seen or heard in any classes on the 7 to 10 campus.

The ban will not apply at break times, and is designed to minimise distractions and assist the development of a positive learning environment. Our grade 7 program already has a similar policy, which has been successful in allowing students to better focus on their learning.

We have published the draft policy and procedure on the school website, along with documents that support our decision. We welcome any submissions on these, and we thank you for your support as we work together to create the best possible educational outcomes for our students.

To make a comment of the proposal, please email the school at huonville.high@education.tas.gov.au
