Accessing your blog
Blogging at Bay of Islands College
All students at Bay of Islands College have their own blog that is automatically set up for you by the school's Manaiakalani facilitator. Your teacher will organise a time in class for you to access your blog for the first time. It's important you follow the steps on the slide deck so you get a premium account account.
Your teacher will give you guidelines on how to write blog posts and publish your work.
If you are an ex-student from Kawakawa Primary, Paihia School or Tautoro School your blog will be transferred to your high school gmail account.
Students do not need to make a blog however, students do write blog posts.
