Highlanders Visit Brings Excitement
Last Friday was an unforgettable day as the Highlanders rugby players visited our school. From skills training in the gym to casual chats with our students, the morning was brimming with energy and inspiration. What a privilege it was to host these amazing athletes!

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 sales.
A reminder…
As we near the end of the school year, please remember to return any items you have borrowed or hired from school. This includes: Blazers (must be drycleaned, with proof of receipt) Chromebooks Musical Instruments Library Books Text books Sports Equipment

Monday morning’s delivery included two brand-new electric guitars and amplifiers, courtesy of the Fern Energy Fuel for Schools scheme. A huge thank you to Reece Winter, Rural Sales Manager for Fern Energy, for delivering them, and to the Fern Energy customers who nominated our school. These instruments will be a fantastic addition to our music programme!
