Bring Your Own Device
BYOD At Te Paepae o Aotea
At Te Paepae o Aotea, we embrace digital learning as a vital part of our students’ educational journey.
All Year 9-13 pupils will be expected to bring a device to use in their classes.
We are committed to using a device as a tool to support the students’ learning and allow students to work online from home should the situation arise.
Year 7 & 8 can bring their own learning device; however, there are devices available for use during classes.
Why BYOD?
Our BYOD approach empowers students to:
- Access learning resources anytime, anywhere
