performing with the Jazz Orchestra at ViPA. From the PrincipalTechnology and the Teenager

The appropriate use of technology

assumes particular importance from time

to time in the life of a school. The following

article was written by the College Vice

Principal, Domenic Burgio, in 2009 to

discuss whether students were actually

safer in possession of mobile phones. It

is remarkable how the issues discussed

therein remain equally pertinent these

six years later and I invite you to consider

them now as you read on.

Does my son need a mobile phone at school?My experience in schools over recent

years has led me to conclude that the

mobile phone is the single most disruptive

element in our secondary schools. I have

spent hundreds of hours of my time as a

school administrator dealing with mobile

phone issues. The student, equipped by

well-meaning parents, keeps fronting

up with the latest and greatest phone,

complete with gadgetry well beyond

normal needs. I feel it seems to be getting

us all into an area that is grey, risky and

fraught with danger. The majority of

parents cite that safety is the reason

for supplying their child with a mobile

phone. This is most understandable. The

world is a different place to that in which

my generation lived, and I can plainly

see that parents would like to be able to

communicate with their children at all

times. However, there is a great irony in

providing this safety. A mobile phone that

comes with all the latest ‘bells and whistles’

can actually put your son at greater risk.

CBC Fremantle Newsletter | Week 7 Term 3 | Page 3

The most current model phones are

definitely the most attractive to potential

thieves, be they a fellow student or a

complete stranger. Many of our boys

travel home on buses and walk through

Fremantle and they are best advised

to keep their mobiles concealed unless

absolutely necessary. I am sure that

parents would not like boys waving a

wallet full of money around, and this is

how expensive mobile phones are seen by

some in our wider community. Yet each

day, as soon as the siren goes and the boys

walk out through the College gates, the

phones pop out from everywhere. I doubt

that 3.15pm signals a significant safety risk

for our boys! Rather, I suspect that social

networking is at play and phones are on

display for all to view. I have actually seen a

boy walk into a street sign because he was

busy talking to someone instead of paying

attention to where he was walking and

what was going on around him.

That said, the theft of a mobile, provided

there is no injury, is not the end of the

world. What is of greater concern to me is

that as parents, we are giving our children

a very sophisticated piece of technology

with little or no rules associated with its

responsible use. Mobile phones that can

take photographs, videos and connect to

the internet are very common and very,

very dangerous. For Generation Y, the

laws governing their use of social media,

Facebook and YouTube do not reconcile

with the laws of the land and are often in

contrast to the expectations of parents.

They certainly do not reconcile with CBC

Fremantle’s Code of Conduct. The students

of CBC are not allowed to photograph

and/or film any school activity without

the permission of the Principal, and any

student who breaks this rule risks their

enrolment at our College. What seems an

innocent action, may in fact breach laws

relating to the photographing and filming

of minors - laws which few students are

aware of.

Another matter of equal concern is the

ability of these phones to access the

internet and receive and make images

and videos. The latest technology allows

students to receive and exchange photos

and videos that can be inappropriate, and

then view them surreptitiously at their

leisure. This makes a mockery of family-

based internet and computer use rules

that may determine the positioning of

a computer in an open area. Recently, I

was made aware of several boys who

have been doing this at school. When I

contacted the boys’ parents, they were

completely shocked about the ability of

the boys and their phones. This serves as

a timely warning for all boys. Should any

student be found using their phones and

other related technology for such purposes

at school, the consequences will be very

serious.

Young adolescent boys have not changed

much in terms of their main issues since I

was 13. What has changed is access and

opportunity to material that may be too

tempting for an immature mind to deal

with. By providing our children with the

opportunity and temptation, without

empowering them to deal with such issues,

the whole notion of providing a mobile for

their safety may be lost. I would strongly

advise all parents of our boys to speak to

their sons about the issues raised in this

article and make sure that in providing the

boys with a mobile for their safety, you are

not in fact doing the opposite. If parents

are truly worried about their child’s safety,

the technological ability of modern mobile

phones should only add to that concern. If

only someone would invent a mobile that

simply allows the user to make and receive

phone calls!

Applications are now open for Certificate IV in Business,

Certificate IV Education Support, Certificate IV Leadership &

Management and Certificate IV Community Service.

These certificate courses are on Fridays in 2016 replacing work

experience, with enrolment numbers determining course viability.

If you have already discussed the future pathway of your son and

university is his goal, this may be another avenue for success.

This Certificate IV pathway will offer a high probability of

acceptance into any university bridging programme. There is also

an opportunity with good College marks for them to progress

straight into their preferred university degree. The bridging

programme takes approximately six months at the selected

university and the process engages the students with aspects

of study including programmes, essay writing and focussing on

necessary literacy and numeracy skills.

To achieve University Indirect Entry Step 1: WACE Graduation = Pass OLNA + >C+ Certificate II

Step 2: ATAR English or high marks in General English

Step 3: Certificate IV VET

Step 4: Apply directly to the university

If pursuing the Indirect Entry Pathway (Step 3) The Fremantle

Education Centre (FEC) can assist you with the Certificate IV

courses. Please feel free to contact the FEC directly if you have

any questions about the courses and all application and payments

go directly to them, not CBC Fremantle.

The College monitors all students closely, as they are still enrolled

as full members of CBC Fremantle.
