The Principal of Waitara High School in Taranaki has changed his mind about the ban on phones in school.
Initially the school would allow their year 13s to have their phones with them as they transition into adulthood. But new technology and improved academics saw Daryl Warburton change his mind.
He speaks to Mark about the technology helping to enforce the phone ban as well as the positives that have emerged from the devices not being allowed during school hours.
