Tallaght Community School is a Phone Free Campus from September 2024.
To ensure a healthy, engaging, and distraction-free learning environment for all members of our school community, the board of management has made the decision that Tallaght Community School will be a mobile phone-free school for students during the school day.
Tallaght Community School recognises that mobile phones are an integral part of young people’s culture and way of life and can have considerable benefits and value when used appropriately. However, we are also cognisant that phones can be a significant distraction, hinder communication and socialisation, and contribute to high levels of anxiety and stress among young people and adults alike.
Students will secure their phones in a locked pouch at the beginning of every school day before entering the school building.
Students will maintain possession of the locked pouches in their school bags but will not have access to their phones until they unlock their pouch at the unlocking pods as they leave school at the end of the school day. Students will be responsible for their pouch and bring it to school daily.
