Yondr pouches help us create a phone-free school day in a simple, consistent way. Students do not need to bring a phone to school, but if they do, it is placed in a secure Yondr pouch at the beginning of the day and kept in their locker until the final bell.
This helps students stay focused in class, more present with friends and better connected to what is happening around them. Our phone-free approach also applies during breaks, at bus stops and in drop-off and pick-up areas. Limited access arrangements are available for Year 12 students, with medical and individual exemptions supported where needed.
Our Online Safety Hub gives families a trusted place to turn for practical advice about the digital world. Developed with online safety experts, it brings together easy-to-understand information, guides and resources to help parents and carers feel more confident supporting young people online.
Families can explore advice on topics such as social media, gaming, screen time and cyberbullying, along with expert reviews of popular apps and platforms and practical guidance for responding when something goes wrong. It is a resource you can return to as technology - and the challenges that come with it - continue to change.
Qustodio is a parental control app that helps families manage children's device use across phones, tablets and computers. It offers screen time limits, website and app filtering, location tracking, and alerts for concerning content, all managed from one dashboard. A free version is available, with paid plans offering fuller functionality.
Qustodio works best alongside, not instead of, ongoing conversations with your child about safe technology use. Families are encouraged to explore this and other tools to find what suits their household.
