Our students were previously allowed their phones around the building during break and lunch times, but we found they were constantly bombarded by notifications and apps that demanded their screen time. We have already seen students repurposing their time to read books, play chess, play card games and engage with their colleagues. We hope this shift to no phones continues to enhance our students' concentration during lessons and increase their overall well-being. For more information on this shift, read our new phone policy here.
