Please remember that our headphones are issued to be cared for by the person to whom the number is allocated. Too many are being taken by those without, only three people are in the position of not having headphones due to faulty headphones. Once you lose your headphones please do not borrow others, and as you take your headphones , please leave the bag in the storage bin. At the end of a session or day, the expectation is you will put your headphones back in the bag with the wires gently wrapped, Thank you those who are doing this really well.
Thank you to students and whanau rooms sharing their chrome books, it is awkward as they wear out, they have had a busy life. Just remember where you have borrowed from so charging at the end of the day is easier for all. If there is an issue with your allocated Chrome book please inform us so we can do all we can to help.
After issuing your equipment for day job one is to open, read, action then clear unnecessary email.
