Managed BYOD (Bring your own device)

Year 9 students are required to bring their own device to school.

Our preferred device is a Chromebook. This is a laptop-style device that enables your child to work on documents and applications, mainly through the internet. This kind of device is ideal for our students, as at Ōtūmoetai College we use Google Workspace for Education.

Chromebooks have limited storage as most files are stored in student Google accounts which can easily be accessed through the internet.

This means that if the device gets lost or damaged students can still access their files by simply logging in to another device or Chromebook.

Students will be issued with a username and password to log in to their Google account and gain access to their files. They are required to use their school Google account for accessing their school work.

A variety of Chromebooks are available to suit different requirements. For more information about suitable devices and details of some recommended suppliers, please refer to our website.
