Away for the day
At Holland Park State High School, we aim to foster a community of engaged, kind, respectful and responsible learners, persisting towards personal success. This policy supports the requirement for all our students to focus on their learning, and is committed to reducing the distraction caused by personal use of mobile phones and wearable devices. “Away for the day” aims to:
- support the school to create a safe and supportive learning environment that prioritises student engagement and wellbeing
- encourage increased face- to face social interaction between students
- promote the health and wellbeing of students by providing opportunities for social interactions and physical activity during break times and
- reduce the potential for students to be exposed to the negative impacts of the digital world, resulting from unsafe or inappropriate usage of technology, such as cyberbullying, accessing harmful content or breaches of personal privacy.
