 If a student is seen using a mobile phone in the school the phone will
be confiscated and given to senior management for safe keeping.
The mobile phone will be returned at the end of the day and parents
will be notified verbally of the consequence if a further incident
happens. Persistent non-compliance of the above will mean the
confiscated phone will be held until the end of the school term.

School IPad/Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
At SRS we are committed to integrating the effective use of technology
to enhance our learning experiences. In Years 7 and 8 we provide all
students with a school IPad to complete their learning and coursework
on. These IPads are owned and managed by the school but become
the students’ own personal device. More information is found in the SRS
Acceptable Use Policy for Students. All students and parents MUST sign
this before an IPad is allocated.
In Years 9 onwards, SRS will allow students to use their own devices in
lessons. At SRS, mobile phone usage as BYOD is not permitted . Wireless
access is available to students and this has been created to enhance
learning experiences. Connecting to the SRS wireless network with
personal technology devices is a privilege not a right. Permission to bring
and use personal devices is contingent upon adherence to SRS
guidelines. Please note that if a personal device is used by a student for
malicious purposes, or to cause disruption to the educational
environment, student’s privileges may be revoked or limited.

The use of personal digital cameras in school is not allowed unless a
student can provide written permission from a teacher. The use of the
personal digital camera can only be allowed under the supervision of
the teacher that the student has received permission from.

Bullying
All students have the right to learn in a safe environment without fear.
Bullying can undermine and can prevent students from progressing
academically and socially and it can have life- long negative
