This policy details the conditions under which mobile phones are permitted at Yokine Primary School. The school reserves the right to amend this policy in the future.
It should be noted that it is a criminal offence to use a mobile phone to menace, harass or offend another person. Hence, students with mobile phones must not engage in personal attacks, harass another person, or post private information about another person using SMS messages, taking/sending photos, videos or objectionable images, and phone calls. Students using mobile phones to bully other students will face disciplinary actions as sanctioned by the Principal.
Students infringing on the rules noted above will have their mobile phone confiscated. It will be taken to the front office and be kept secure and the parent(s) of the student informed. Parent(s) of the student may collect the phone at their convenience. The Principal may then withdraw permission to the student to bring a mobile phone to Yokine Primary School for a set period or permanently. Staff Review: 31.1.2014 Ratified by School Board: 6.2.2014
