BYOD at Beckenham Te Kura o Pūroto
Kia ora to the families of our Year 5 students
As your child is coming into the senior part of our school this year (Year 5) or continuing on (Year 6), they have the option to participate in our 'BYOD' 'Bring your own Device' programme.
Usually we have sent detailed information about our BYOD programme to parents at the end of Year 4, so that you have had an opportunity to look through this and consider if you want your child to participate and we have realised today that this information didn't go out at the end of the year as it has done in the past.
If you follow this link you will be taken to a detailed site that outlines our rationale, links to the New Zealand Curriculum, information about Digital Citizenship, links to Reading and Research, an outline of responsibilities, information about devices, and a FAQ page.
Please don't hesitate to raise any questions you have about BYOD with your child's home group teacher at their learning conference, or by emailing Tracy Inwood (Year 5/6 Team Leader) or Nick Bruce (ICT Leader)
