Our policies and reports

Mobile phone procedure

Mobile phones are banned from use in NSW schools. At Mosman High School we operate a “Gate to Gate” policy. Students must turn their phone off and place it in their bag on entering the school gate. When leaving the school gate at the end of the day, they can again use their phone. For students with a diagnosed reason to access their phone, a pass may be given. Otherwise, phones are not to be seen or used at school

Computer usage policy

All students of Mosman High School must abide by the following rules when using technology at the school including BYOD.

1. I will not give anyone my password.
2. I understand that I am responsible for all activity in my e-learning account.
3. I will refrain from accessing areas of cyberspace that would be considered offensive in the judgment of the School Principal because of pornographic, racist, violent, illegal, illicit or other content.
4. I will tell my teacher if I find any information that is inappropriate or makes me feel uncomfortable. I will delete inappropriate material.

6. I will not reveal personal information including names, addresses, credit card details and telephone numbers of others or myself via the Internet or school intranet.
