Our School
Student Chromebooks
Student Chromebook initiative for Year 10 to Year 13 students.
From the start of 2023, all year 10-13 students at Otamatea High School will be required to bring a Chromebook to school each day on which to do their work.
The Chromebook will need to be protected in a hard shell case.
We need to provide our students with access to the best learning opportunities possible, and e-learning is an essential part of that. Multiple lockdowns over the past two years have also highlighted the importance of remote learning, and students with dedicated access to a reliable and suitable device are able to learn from home more effectively, with minimal disruption.
We understand that the start of the school year brings many expenses. However, having a Chromebook is a sound investment, and an important part of your child’s journey through the school, and ensures they are able to participate fully in the teaching and learning in their classes. We want parents and caregivers to have plenty of time to prepare for 2023. We are currently working with several Chromebook providers to offer you the best Chromebook deals available. We will make this available over the coming weeks.
If you cannot afford a Chromebook for your child please contact Mrs Antunovich on nyree.antunovich@otamatea.school.nz to find out how we can help.
