A school on Brisbane’s southside is trialling new technology that will automatically lock up students’ mobile phones as they enter the front gate.
Corinda State High School is the first in the state to trial a tech-savvy pouch that locks the phones inside and it has a mechanical lock that opens when tapped against the unlocking base.
Students, parents and staff are said to have embraced the changes, and there has reportedly been a noticeable improvement in concentration for students and an increase in face-to-face conversations around the school grounds.
