WiFi


WHS considers that using WiFi enables  a better standard of teaching and learning to be achieved. We follow  the advice of the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health in these matters. There is no scientific evidence that WiFi signals pose any danger to health.
​
Ministry of Education Statement
"WiFi signals are too weak to cause harm to users, according to advice from the Ministry of Health and from international research. WiFi uses extremely low power radio signals to provide mobile internet access.
​
The radio signal is only a fraction of the limit allowed by the New Zealand standard for radio frequency exposure. The signal strength decreases rapidly the further away it is from the transmitter. When data isn’t being transferred, almost no radio signal is transmitted, except for brief ‘beacon signals’."

  • See the Ministry of Health's information on radio frequency exposure standards here.
  • Read the  information paper produced by our Executive Officer  for our Board of Trustees about WiFi  safety concerns.
  • This  recent news article  has opinions from several different university experts in Australia supporting the fact that  WiFi is safe.
