They can be carried around without effort unlike Chromebook. If your phone were to get stolen, you can access its location and erase all data on it.

 

AGAINST

Why need a Phone when you have a School Chromebook. Yes you cant communicate on a chromebook but once you get caught using your phone during class, Teachers can take your phone off of you until the end of the day. So it is best to take your phone up to the office where they can keep it safe in a special place.

It is best to be safe than sorry, so it is best to take it to the office before school starts.

Year 7&8 Netball Team

On the 7th of May our year 7&8 netball team had their first grading netball game against the Remuera year 7&8 team. At first we were all nervous to play for the first time but as we played the match we then slowly gained confidence in playing a proper team. At the end of the game we won 33 – 1 and it was an amazing opportunity to play a proper match against Remuera school. I’d like to thank our amazing coaches for all the hard work they put into training our team and for giving us the confidence we need to compete in the netball competition.
