Since 16 February 2026, our school has taken a new step in its policy promoting student well-being and classroom focus by introducing secure phone pouches in middle and high school.

This development is part of a broader educational approach: guiding students toward responsible digital use while preserving the quality of learning and social interactions within the school.

A gradual implementation

The system was introduced progressively to ensure clear understanding for everyone:
– From 11 February 2026 : distribution of the pouches and in-class presentations explaining how they work, including demonstrations and discussion time;
– Since 16 February 2026 : full implementation for all middle and high school students.

Each class received an explanation from the educational teams (student life staff, counsellors or homeroom teachers), supported by detailed information and a FAQ for families.

How does the pouch work?

Upon entering the school, students place their phone in an individual secure pouch.
The locked pouch remains with the student throughout the day in their bag and can only be opened at the exit stations at the end of the school day — or exceptionally by an authorised adult.

The school therefore becomes a phone-free environment during school hours, except for exceptional educational authorisation.

Clear educational objectives

More than a restrictive measure, this system is a collective educational tool designed to:
– Reduce inappropriate phone use
– Improve concentration and school climate
– Enhance student well-being
– Encourage responsibility and autonomy

The goal is to allow students to keep their phone with them while removing the temptation to use it.
