As supported by Education Queensland, mobile phones, smartwatches, wireless earphones (e.g., ear buds) and other personal connectivity devices, are banned at Narangba Valley State High School. These devices are to be turned off and are not permitted to be accessed at any time during the school day (including lunch breaks and once on school site). This does not include students’ BYOX devices, as these come under the Narangba Valley SHS’s Responsible Use of ICT Devices Policy. If a parent needs to contact a student during the school day, they are able to contact the office and a message will be forwarded to the student directly. It is understood that students may need a mobile phone before or after school, when off school grounds, for safety reasons. For this purpose, they will be able to use their phone before they enter the school grounds or once they exit the school.
