Enrolment Form
We welcome your enrolment at Maniototo Area School.
For New Entrant Packs please contact Mrs Kirk at the school office.
BYOD
BYOD (BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE) applies to all students in Years 9-13. Here are some recommendations for parents.
While Apple computers can access the network they have no printing ability and the format of some documents is a problem. Similarly Chromebooks and iPads have limited value within the system.
We strongly recommend a Windows based laptop running Windows 10. The school has student licences for Microsoft Office and these can be installed (You do not need to purchase these).
If students are likely to be needing the laptop through to Polytechnic or University they may want to look at a more powerful 1#-15 processor but even the Year 13 Statistics students manage quite well with basic processors (Celeron etc) as the main demands are word processing, e mail, spreadsheets and internet based programmes requiring only good connectivity.
Ex lease units are available at good prices from several re-sellers but, if buying new you might consider a solid state drive (storage) even though we ask all our students to save work in the Cloud for security.
Parent Portal
The portal will give parents/caregivers access to their child’s attendance, monthly Attitude to Learning reports, student finances and student assessment data.
To access the site, please use the following link http://parent.musac.school.nz
Caregivers can log into the portal using their e mail address provided to the school.
Alternatively parents/caregivers can download the MUSAC Edge App onto their mobile device.
