New government regulations direct all State Schools to prohibit mobile phone access (unless they have an exemption due to health reasons). As per our policy Woodstock School does not recommend that students bring personal digital devices to the school (such as mobile phones or smart watches). These are not necessary to have during the day. However, we understand that some parents like their children to have a device to communicate with them after school.

If you need to contact your child urgently during the day, you should call the office. If your child feels unwell they need to follow our school processes (get a note from their teacher and go to the sick bay). If your child needs to go home for any reason school will contact you directly. Students should not be contacting their caregivers directly to make arrangements to go home. 

If a student brings a personal digital device to our school, the following guidelines apply:

• The school does not accept responsibility for lost, damaged, or stolen personal digital devices brought to the school but investigates any issues as appropriate. Students must hand in their device to the office at the beginning of the day, and can collect the device at the end of the day.
