Phones and Laptops
The table below is aimed to provide a brief overview of the times in which boys have access to their mobile and laptop devices within the Scotch College Boarding Community. As per our transitional philosophy, the boys’ access to devices are regulated during the early years. However, as they progress through the year groups, they are provided with extra opportunities to demonstrate responsible technology use.
Mobile phones are not permitted on any official interschool boarding recreational activity. Nonetheless, boys are encouraged to take mobile phones with them when on other forms of leave from the College.
