Remember to always be aware of the Network rules and follow them, otherwise you run a risk of losing your network account for a time

Your smart device

We encourage you to bring a smart device to school to use in class. Smart devices include laptops, tablets and phones. There are some important rules about using smart devices:
Phones are never permitted to be used in class but smart devices can be used sometimes. This means that phones can never be used to make phone calls or to send texts while you are in the classroom.

However, If and only if, your teachers says "this is a smart lesson" or "this is a smart activity", you can use your smart device to access educational material for the lesson.

If you use your smart device outside of those times, you may lose access to the Internet or lose your account for a period of time.
