Greater Shepparton Secondary College and all public school students in Victoria are no longer allowed to have mobile phones with them during the school day.
This policy came into effect at the start of the 2020 school year.
In summary, it means that students sould leave their mobile phone at home or, if phones are brought to school:
Secure locks have been provided, free of charge, to all students of Greater Shepparton Secondary College.
The school is providing security for students' property by supplying each student with the free padlock. Parents should note that, while all care is taken, student property is not insured by the school. Students who bring valuable items to school do so at their own risk.

The Australian Ballet will partner with Greater Shepparton Secondary College in 2020 to deliver workshops, student performances and special tours to Melbourne productions.
The partnership, supported by the Sir Andrew and Fairley Foundation, marks the fifth year The Australian Ballet has delivered professional mentoring and creative opportunities to Shepparton secondary students.
Since 2016 the partnership has resulted in more than 800 children taking part in the ballet company’s In School Program, which culminates in a performance at Riverlinks Venues, among other benefits.
Hundreds more students are set to take part with a three-year La Trobe University research project to measure the arts program’s success – guaranteeing the partnership will continue until at least 2022.
“The Australian Ballet’s education programs aim to improve outcomes and the overall wellbeing of students, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds,” Fairley Foundation Executive Officer Amanda McCulloch said.
“This aligns strongly with the Fairley Foundation’s goals of having fewer students disengaged from school and supporting a thriving arts community in Greater Shepparton.”
Key features of the 2020 partnership include:
“We’re grateful to The Australian Ballet, the Fairley Foundation and Riverlinks Venues for committing to this valuable partnership for years to come,” Greater Shepparton Secondary School Executive Principal Genevieve Simson said.
“This is a watershed year for the College and the partnership will help forge ties among our students and teachers through dance and artistic learning.”
Katy McKeown, Head of Education at The Australian Ballet said the free program was delivered courtesy of generous donors and partners.
“We hope to continue to inspire young people across Australia to explore the joy of movement and the educational benefits that one gains through dance,” she said.
The Australian Ballet has been inspiring and delighting audiences across the country and overseas for almost 60 years. The Fairley Foundation has served Greater Shepparton for almost as long with a bequest set up by founder and philanthropist Sir Andrew Fairley in 1965.
