Collaborative Planning Meetings for Students with a Personalised Plan

In eraly Term 4, we will be holding collaborative planning meetings for students who have a personalised plan. These meetings are a great opportunity for parents, teachers, and support staff to come together and discuss your child's progress and goals.

We highly value your input and look forward to working together to ensure every student continues to thrive. Bookings will be made available on Compass for parents to schedule a meeting time. A notification will be sent once the portal opens for bookings.

Smartwatches and Mobile Phones

St Paul’s strives to create an environment that is optimal for learning for our students. In an ever-changing technological world personal devices are available for all age groups. These devices include mobile phones and smartwatches. Personal devices provide messages, notifications, and communication that can distract a student or class from learning. 

Smartwatches and mobile phones have become increasingly popular and are often used as a convenient tool for communication. However, these devices can pose significant distractions during school hours and impede the educational process. To ensure our students remain focused on learning the school has put procedures in place to maintain an environment conducive to learning. 

Mobile phones/ smartwatches should not be brought to school.  However, we are aware that there are some parents and students who feel mobile phones/ smartwatches are necessary for safety reasons. 

Conditions:

The school accepts no responsibility for mobile phones/ smartwatches students bring to school. If students bring a mobile phone/ smartwatches to school it is entirely the responsibility of the student and their family.

Mobile phones/ smartwatches will be turned off while on school premises.

Mobile phones/ smartwatches will be taken to the office for storage during school hours.

Mobile phones/ smartwatches discovered at school that students use to make or receive phone calls, check for or send messages, take out to show other people, play around with to change the settings, use to play games etc. will be confiscated. Mobile phones/ smartwatches that are confiscated will need to be collected by parents. This is to help ensure that parents are aware of the problem we have had with their child and their mobile phone/smartwatch.

Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring all students have an optimal learning environment.
