Vaughan Couillault: Secondary Principals' Association President on the first day of the new cell phone ban - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Kiwi kids have endured their first day of no cell phones at school.

Students can no longer use or access their phone at school under new Government legislation.

Many schools started phasing the rule in from Term One, before the ban came into force this term.

Secondary Principals' Association president Vaughan Couillault says not many students were found breaking the rules at his school today.

"Well, I've got three cell phones that have been confiscated in the front office, so you'd have to say out of 1800 students, it looks like three of them got busted."
