How the Programme Works
Each student will be assigned a Yondr pouch, a secure, lockable case for storing personal devices. Students are responsible for bringing their pouch to and from school each day and keeping it in good condition.

Upon arrival: Students power off mobile phones and place them in the pouch and lock it in front of a teacher in morning registration
During the day: Students keep the locked pouch in their bag.
At the end of the day: Students unlock pouches at designated stations to retrieve their devices. This will be at 3.50pm for those students departing campus at that time and 4.50pm for those remaining on campus during Development Hour. There are 6 unlocking stations at different points around the campus, including by the carpark and the bus park. This is a quick tap and walk on procedure and so students will be able to complete this in a timely fashion. This process is quick, simple and will be supervised by staff as part of our daily routine.
