Rangiora High School is in its third year of Bring Your Own Device. The number of Year 9, 10 and 11 students bringing a device has improved each year which is pleasing, and we recognise that providing a device for your child is a significant investment. Teaching and learning programmes are increasingly geared around the use of a device, which can be an invaluable tool in terms of resource location and student self-organisation.

If you are not able to provide your child a device, we do have Equity devices available. These are school-owned devices that are loaned out to students on a daily basis, in the same way as a library book is. It is important to note that these equity devices are limited in number, and ideally, are issued on a short term basis.

While Year 12 and 13 students have not been part of the BYOD rollout as Year 9’s, they are still expected to bring a device to school if they have one available to them. Many senior subjects utilise a device as a key part of their curriculum delivery, and they also provide significant support for students learning.

Details around recommended devices can be found on the BYOD page on our website, or alternatively feel free to email the school.
