Chromebooks and Laptops. We require all students to have their own digital device for learning from the start of 2018. For students in Years 7-11 the preferred device is a chromebook. Students in Years12 & 13 may prefer to bring a laptop. The important thing is that the device should have a good keyboard. 

Our preferred supplier is Cyclone Computers because they offer the best chromebook which has been tested for school use and includes the best deal including warranty and 3yrs insurance, all at $493.35. You can buy online from Cyclone at http://www.cyclone.co.nz/byod . Choose Hornby High School form the drop down menu. The password is hhbyod.

Economical Broadband Internet

If you need a very affordable broadband internet deal please contact the office. We can help you sign up to Skinny through the ‘Spark Jump’ scheme. This gives you 30GB of data for $10 prepaid. We have the modems for free and will show you how to set up the system. It’s easy!
