Mobile Phone and Smart Watch Ban
In accordance with the government decree N001/MINEDUC/2018 of 11/07/2018 prohibiting the use of mobile phones in schools by students Green Hills Academy has implemented a no mobile phone and no smart watch policy. If a student is found possessing a phone or smart watch on campus the phone is confiscated and can only be returned to a guardian. Additionally, an agreement will need to be signed by a guardian and the student promising not to bring in the device again.
Please note that in cases of the offense being repeated the student will face expulsion from GHA. This consequence is in accordance with the above stated government decree.
