Technology & devices

In short

KSIM is a phone-free school: phones and smartwatches may come to school but stay switched off in a bag or locker all day. Separately, BYOD applies from Year 3 up — with a teacher’s permission, students may use their own device for schoolwork.

In this section

• Phone-free school — the phone and smartwatch rule
• Bring your own device (BYOD) — using a personal device for schoolwork
• Responsible use of technology — the rules students follow

Personal devices for schoolwork	Year 3 and up, with teacher approval
Devices at meal times	Not used, and not on the table
