From the beginning of 2024, all Queensland state school students will have their mobile phones switched off and ‘away for the day’.
'Away for the day' will support our school to maintain a strong focus on educational achievement, and student wellbeing and engagement by:
providing optimal learning and teaching environments
encouraging increased face-to-face social interactions between students
promoting the health and wellbeing of students through increased physical activity at break times
reducing the potential for students to be exposed to the negative impacts of the digital world, resulting from unsafe or inappropriate technology use.
