BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE (BYOD)


Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

Students are required to bring their own digital device to school each day to support their learning. If you are purchasing or selecting a device for your student, to help you choose something suitable, please refer to the BYOD Specifications – Device Guide linked below.

As part of our enrolment process, students and their caregivers will be required to read, understand, and agree to the Student BYOD & Digital User Agreement, also linked below.

There are many advantages for students bringing their own digital devices to support their educational needs. Curriculum subjects are increasingly relying on a wide variety of online learning tools. We ask for whanau support in ensuring that your daughter brings her device to school each day.​​​​​​​


Library Chromebooks

Our Library has a small stock of Chromebooks for students who do not own a device. We ask whānau to let their student's dean know if a student does not have a device and the reason for this. This information will be kept confidential.  Chromebooks will be issued only to students who are in genuine need, and from whom the deans have received a notification from whānau.

Please note that there are not enough Chromebooks in the Library to issue to students who have a personal digital device but have not brought it to school.






    Reminders

    • Students must ensure they charge their device each night/morning so that it is fully charged for the day’s use at school.

    • Many devices look the same/similar so it is recommended to name or identify the device in some way. Please also keep a record of the serial number and make and model at home.

    • If a student’s device is defective, and the student wishes to use a Chromebook from the Library, then an email or letter from parents/caregivers to the Dean is required, explaining what the problem is and when the device is likely to be available again.
