ICT / Bring Your Own Chromebook (BYOC)/ Mobile Device Information

Introduction to BYOC (Bring Your Own Chromebook)

Mount Maunganui Intermediate is moving to a fully Bring Your Own Chromebook (BYOC) model. This initiative aims to empower students with essential digital skills and enhance their learning experiences. Chromebooks will be the only supported devices, ensuring a consistent and effective learning environment.

ICT Responsible Use Agreement

At Mount Maunganui Intermediate, we are committed to fostering responsible and safe use of technology. Our ICT Responsible Use Agreement outlines the expectations for all students, staff, and volunteers. Please review this agreement carefully as part of the enrolment process.

BYOC Expectations and Guidelines

Students bringing their own Chromebooks to school must adhere to the following guidelines:

    • Devices must meet the school’s minimum specifications (CLICK HERE).
  • Chromebooks will be enrolled in the school’s device management system for the duration of the student’s time at Mount Maunganui Intermediate. Devices taken offsite will still have a number of policy restrictions which may restrict functionality. The device will be removed from our system when the student ceases to be a student at Mount Maunganui Intermediate.
  • Devices are to be used exclusively for educational purposes during school hours, with teacher-directed activities.
  • Students must demonstrate responsibility in caring for their devices; the school is not liable for loss or damage.

Mobile Device Procedure

To maintain a focused learning environment, students are not permitted to use mobile phones during school hours unless authorised for health and safety reasons. All mobile devices must be handed in to the class teacher for secure storage during the day.

Support for Non-BYOC Students

Students who do not bring their own Chromebook will still have access to school Chromebooks and other devices as part of their learning. Our goal is to ensure that all students, regardless of their situation, have the tools they need to succeed.

Parent and Student Involvement

We believe in a partnership between the school and families to create a safe and productive digital environment. Parents are encouraged to discuss the ICT Responsible Use Agreement with their children and to reach out to the school with any questions.
