School Tours  

• In accordance with the School’s Positive Discipline Policy, trips outside of school will be for pupils of good behaviour.

“Events such as field trips, trips to places of educational importance and the annual school tour will be for pupils who have reached a target of average of 85% (Positive Discipline Stamps) over a defined and designated period of time.”

• Parents will be notified in advance of the details of the trip.

• A minimum of two adults will accompany pupils on out of school excursions.

• The supervising adults will have access to a mobile phone.

•  A first aid kit will be provided by the school.

• If spending money is needed, the class teacher will decide on an appropriate amount.  

Mobile Phones

• Mobile phones are a tremendous asset in the area of communication.  However, the necessity for pupils to have mobile phones in school is questionable.

• It is the school’s experience that incoming calls and texts have been a distraction and a nuisance in the class situation.  At times, mobile phones have been used to pass unsavoury text messages.  Phones have also been used to harass or bully children.  Another concern is the theft or loss of mobile phones.

• The school has always been very accommodating in relation to pupils making phone calls from the secretary’s office.  This will continue to be the case.

• Except in exceptional circumstances, pupils having and / or using mobile phones in school and in all school related activities is discouraged.

• If there is a genuine reason for a pupil to have a mobile phone in school a parent may apply in writing to the Principal for approval.

• If approval is given, parents will be asked to sign a Declaration of Acceptance of the terms.

• If a pupil has a mobile phone in school without permission the phone will be held by the school Principal for collection by a parent.
