The following school rules outline the expectations and boundaries of acceptable conduct, supported by clear and logical rationales. These rules ensure a safe and conducive teaching and learning environment for all JYians.

Use of Communication Devices*
*Communication devices includes smartphones, smartwatches, tablets and/or other non- educational gadgets.
The school strongly discourages JYians from bringing communication devices to school as they are not essential for learning and may become a source of distraction. These devices are costly, may cause envy among peers, and are vulnerable to theft. Furthermore, they can be misused if not handled responsibly.
In cases of emergency, parents may contact their child through the school office, or students may use the school office phone to reach their parents. However, the school acknowledges that some parents may prefer their children to carry a communication device for valid reasons. Therefore, students are permitted to bring communication devices to school, subject to the following rules:
6.1 All students must lock their handphones in the designated lockers during school curriculum hours.
6.2 Use of communication devices is permitted only in the school canteen after curriculum hours. Devices must be used responsibly.

6.6 Communication devices are strictly prohibited during tests and examinations. Possession of such devices will be treated as a dishonest act, and the student’s results may be terminated.
Students who violate these rules will have their devices confiscated until the end of the school day. Repeat offenders will require their parents to attend a conference with the school before collecting their child’s phone. . In addition, the student will be required to sign a Letter of Undertaking to commit to the responsible use of communication devices in school.
