Lots of Fun at ‘Have a Go’ Week Our students got the opportunity to participate in Have A Go week last week. This is run by Otago Secondary Schools Sports Association. It gives the students the chance to play a range of sports outside the usual sports played. Secondary Schools from all around the district, including Central Otago took part in the sports offered. The students participated in Dodgeball, Pickleball, Boys Only Netball, Ki-o-Rahi, Wheelchair Basketball, Rugby, Darts, Squash and 3x3 Basketball over the week, and those who took part thoroughly enjoyed the sports and the chance to work in teams made up from schools all over the district.
BYOD for 2025
Tokomairiro High School will be moving to a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) system for 2025. Year 7 and 8 students will still have access to a chromebook during the school day but it is recommended that all older students bring their own device to school. Details of appropriate devices are available on the school website and students will need to complete a BYOD agreement which is available on the website or at the office. Our preferred supplier is Noel Leeming who has a selection of devices that meet the criteria. They have already let us know that they will be having some specials available over the coming weeks with Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
