Accepting the voluntary collective agreement will:
- Commit you to delaying providing your child(ren) with a smartphone or smart device until at least the end of 6th class.
- Complement the school’s smartphone policy, which is that students are not permitted to bring mobile phones or devices onto school premises, unless for pre-agreed reasons.
Whilst the PGTA consensus is supportive of the annual voluntary agreement we also respect each family’s right to decide whether or not their children have access to a smartphone or smart device.
Please complete for each child of yours currently attending Harcourt Terrace ETNS.
