Parents are free to purchase Chromebooks from any supplier they prefer. However, wherever you choose to buy, we recommend inquiring about warranty and insurance options to ensure peace of mind.

For your convenience, Tairua School offers a BYOD option through Noel Leeming. You can explore this option by visiting the Tairua School PAGE on Noel Leeming's website. Additionally, the Thames Noel Leeming store is happy to assist families remotely, saving you a trip into the store. Orders can be placed via phone 0800 444 488 ext. 74100 or email Thames@noelleeming.net —just mention Tairua School. They also offer excellent after-service care and can discuss payment options such as interest-free with you. For further details click on this LINK.

How does the school intend to support families who cannot afford BYOD?
We understand that financial constraints can be a concern, and we are committed to supporting families in need. For those facing difficulties, we encourage open conversations to explore possible solutions. While we anticipate only a small number of families requiring assistance, the school will have a limited number of devices available to ensure equitable access. Please contact the school office to discuss your situation further.
