To support the implementation of the NSW Government's new rules around students’ use of mobile phones in public schools, Waratah Campus is introducing the YONDR program from term 3, 2023.
The YONDR program involves the use of simple, lockable pouches, to store students’ mobile phones during the school day. This enables students to retain possession and responsibility over their phones at school whilst still providing the benefits of phone-free classrooms and playground spaces.
We believe using these pouches, and having phones away, creates a more supportive environment for students to develop the skills to interact positively with their peers and teachers, and to fully immerse themselves in the learning process.
