Bring Your Own Device
BYOD at Mana College
Mana College is beginning a journey of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) from 2023. Being connected online is an essential element of education in the 21st Century and we want all of our ākonga to have consistent access to a device. To date, we have attempted to provide access to devices onsite but this has limitations in terms of consistent access at school and access out-of-school hours. Quite simply, it is a big advantage for students to have their own device to ensure access where and when required. Therefore, BYOD is the most effective option.
We are very aware of the cost involved with ICT so we are committed to helping whānau secure devices at an affordable level. To achieve this, we have partnered with Te Mana o Kupe Trust who offer interest-free options on Chromebook payments at as little as $4 per week. Alternatively, you are welcome to purchase any Chromebook or Laptop from retailers and we can help connect that device to our network.
If you are interested in the Chromebook offer via Te Mana o Kupe Trust please email question or completed forms to: jasmine@tmok.org.nz.
There are great payment option through Te Mana o Kupe Chromebooks.
How it works:
The whanau need to fill in a Trust Credit Sales Agreement and if eligible a Whanau Ora Client Information Form. If you need copies of these forms, please ask at school office. Completed forms can be given to the school office or emailed to the Te Mana o Kupe Trust.
Once the Trust receive the deposit of $45 and at least one of your automatic payments they will organize for a Chromebook to be delivered to the school. We will contact whanau for collection from school office.
Payments can be made weekly, fortnightly, or monthly to the Trust, from as little as $4 a week for 24 Months.
The Chromebook comes with a tough case and 3-year (36 Months) Material Damage Insurance $200 – $400 (No Excess)
Please feel free to contact the school if needing assistance completing the forms.
