Might try editing the .plst...
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist
Especially these...
</data>
<key>LibraryPath</key>
<string>/Users/bd1/Pictures/Photo Booth Library</string> to some locked folder that they can't save to.
<key>NSNavLastRootDirectory</key>
<string>~/Downloads</string> to some locked folder that they can't save to.
Or trashing Photo Booth after disableing SIP...

It might be possible to create secondary, non-Admin accounts for the students to use … then use Screen Time to impose "parental controls" on those accounts.

Control access to the camera on Mac - Apple Support
It appears Apple apps have automatic access to the camera that cannot be disabled.
No. Apple apps other than the office suite and GarageBand are part of the OS and cannot be altered.
You're welcome in retrospect.
