Mobile Phone Ban

 

Students who choose to bring mobile phones to school must have them switched off and securely stored during school hours.

​

All Victorian Schools across the state must implement the ministerial policy that bans students using their mobile phones during school hours unless an exemption is sought. MRC has a policy that can be downloaded off the school website that enforces this ban. 

​​

​

If students choose to use their phones during school hours without verified approval then their phones will be confiscated and the following consequences apply:

​

First confiscation: 

Student to be issued with a verbal warning 

​

Second confiscation: 

After school redemption

​

Third confiscation: 

Parent pick up + Saturday detention 

​

Fourth confiscation + additional 

Suspension ​

​

Confiscations are logged on Compass and the following comments are added to on confiscation log in order to track the number of misuses the student has had:

​

Term X, 1st confiscation – warning issued 

Term X, 2nd confiscation – after school redemption 

Term X, 3rd confiscation – Family pick-up + Saturday detention 

​

Confiscation tally renews each term.
