BYOD Device

In addition to the stationery requirements below, all year level students require a device that they can bring to school. We do not specify a particular device, but instead have some minimum specifications that the device must meet. You can read those specifications here; MHJC recommended devices.

Note: Should you anticipate any difficulty providing a device for your child, please communicate with your child’s Whānau Leader as soon as possible so an alternate plan can be provided.

Compulsory Fees

In November 2019, it was decided to accept the Ministry’s offer to opt in to the donations scheme which means parents are no longer requested to pay an annual voluntary donation of $250. This results in significant savings for parents as we are able to pass on some of the revenue to cover ID cards and printing, Yearbook, day-trips and outside speakers who visit the school to address the students. In the past, voluntary donations have been used for capital projects including ICT equipment, a policy we intend continuing.

In terms of the Guidelines, a fee will be requested for the following:

• overnight trips (including the Year 7 Camp)
• optional DEEP courses and extra-curricular activities
• courses with a take home component including digital platforms

A device is also recommended for all students as much of our curriculum is delivered using digital technology which can be used at home or in school.

In order to maintain and enhance our high standards of innovative learning, additional resources are needed and as such, parents are requested to pay for the items listed below. These must be paid in full before the start of the academic year.

The notice will indicate how applications are to be made and will specify a date by which all applications must be received.

Parents will be informed of the date of any ballot by notice in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school.

Applicants seeking second or third priority status will be required to give proof of a sibling relationship.
