For the last two years, our school has been a BOYD school for Years 7-13.  It is great to see that many of our students are now bringing in their own devices rather than relying on the very old and limited school devices we have in Middle and Senior School.

As Christmas approaches, now is a timely reminder that our IT consultants, Cyclone Computers are a very good option if you are looking at purchasing a device for your child. In Years 7-10 we recommend a Chromebook and in Years 11-13, a laptop.

Cyclone have an online ordering portal to make it easier for parents and caregivers to purchase BYOD devices for rangatahi.

There is a range of Apple, Chromebook, and Windows devices that students can select along with a number of accessories. There are also options to purchase extended warranties and damage insurance.

The ordering portal is live and parents can order devices using the password below. Payment can be made online or via direct debit and devices will be delivered directly to the nominated address.
