Queensland state school students are required to keep mobile phones switched off and 'away for the day' during school hours and while attending school activities, such as representative school sport, excursions and camps.
Wearable devices, such as smartwatches, can be worn to school but notifications must be switched off so that phone calls, messages and other notifications cannot be sent or received.
Your child can continue to bring their phone to school to communicate with you, their friends and employers outside of school hours.
