From Term 1 next year, students in Preschool up to Year 10 will not be able to use their mobile phone, smart watch or any other personal communication devices at school.

Yeah this is going to get skirted and bypassed constantly. It’s one of those rules that is unenforceable by sheer fact that no one will follow it.
Just experience from my youth where phones were banned in the halls.
Then you’ll have the few hall overseers who ATTEMPT to enforce it and find themselves bullied relentlessly.
It’s working in NSW; why wouldn’t it work in ACT?
From what I gather: Sheeple’s description is how it works in NSW.

You really think the students would just give their phones? Nah they’d lie about not having a phone on them.
It’s what they did when they tried to enforce that ban where I used to live

Have you met children? Of course they lie, but what can you do? Strip search them? C’mon, anyone tasked with enforcing this is taking on the impossible.

Of course it’s bullshit, suddenly zero students have phones, yeah don’t think so.
I know a parent that gets their kid to keep their phone in their bag regardless. Also the school provides no guarantees on their phone storage (if the phone goes missing they will disclaim liability). NSW.
