Mobile Phone Procedure for Lanyon High School
Digital Technology is evolving at a rapid and intractable rate and while it has some educational advantages in teaching and learning, the impact of mobile devices has raised concerns within the school and wider community. The previous system whereby students were allowed to bring mobile phones to school was in place prior to Chromebook allocations and a BYOD environment. This is no longer necessary or appropriate.
Through the Technology Enabled Learning Program the ACT Education Directorate is committed to producing responsible, literate, and knowledgeable digital citizens. As part of this program all students receive a Chromebook device. This has eliminated any need for student mobile phones to be used as a learning device.
To prepare your students, below is a document for further information about the mobile phone procedures.

Student Medication
Before any staff member accepts responsibility for administering prescribed medication to a student in their care, the principal must:
- Ensure a comprehensive written authority is obtained from the student's parent(s) for a member of staff to administer the prescribed medication.
- Seek from the student's parent(s) a written statement from the students doctor authorising a member of staff to prescribe the medication. The statement should also set out the necessary directions and specify any special precautions that may exist.
If the Front Office is currently administering medication to your child at your request, it would be appreciated if you could provide the above permissions and information to Front Office staff as soon as possible.
Thank you for your help in ensuring that your child is receiving proper assistance with their medication.
