BYOD

Bring Your Own Device

The use of IT devices such as iPods, iPads, digital translators, laptops and mobile phones are now being actively integrated into learning activities.

Between school hours devices may only be used for planned educational activities. Any device found being used for other purposes will be confiscated. This includes break times and common rooms. No argument – no exceptions! The student’s name will be recorded, and the device will remain with the Campus Leader / Whanau Leader until the end of the school day. Students may retrieve their phones from Campus Leader or the reception office. Repeat offenders may be required to surrender their device at the beginning of each day for a specified number of days. Students may approach the campus office to phone out. Such requests will be decided on a case-by-case basis. On a school trip, the teacher in charge will make it clear before the trip of what the boundaries around the use of mobile devices are.

The school is not responsible for the loss or damage of personal devices. Each student takes responsibility for their own device. The sharing of devices is not encouraged.

Students and families are required to sign a student internet user agreement before using devices at school.
