Introduction
Auckland Grammar School encourages every boy to recognise and develop his individual potential to the full, and to gain pride and satisfaction through setting demanding personal goals and striving to attain them. We encourage the development of the whole person to produce young men who are ready, willing and able to assume useful roles in society and to be responsible citizens, some of whom will be international, national and local leaders, and all of whom will be sensitive to the needs of others.
We aim to make learning happen by removing the barriers.

Introduction
Auckland Grammar School has made considerable progress in developing a robust, sustainable Information and Communications Technology (ICT) plan. We place our emphasis on a maintaining a quality network infrastructure, integration which enhances classroom learning, and quality staff professional development. The main goal of this department is to provide resources and support in the use of ICT for academic classroom work.
ICT Facilities
Grammar has approximately 550 computers and other devices. This is a complex network, especially given the wide range of software required for both administration and classroom use. Microsoft Windows 7 Professional is the primary operating system used throughout the school.
Grammar staff are provided with laptops by the Board of Trustees, under the TELA laptop scheme. As a result, there is enhanced use of ICT in all departments, complimented by access to data projectors and the internet.
Students have access to excellent facilities for research, analysis, scanning, video editing, and colour and black and white printing. Each student receives an individual logon and password and school supplied email address.
If you have any further questions please contact our staff today.
The Health Centre aims to provide a healthy and safe environment for all students.
Our role is to provide support and administer first aid to students who become unwell or are injured during school hours. We provide holistic care that is culturally sensitive and appropriate to the individual.
Hours: 8:30am – 3:30pm during term time.
Location: Beside the Printing Room (opposite the Old Gym) and can be accessed via Gate 3.
Services
Unwell or injured students
Students who are unwell must obtain a note from their teacher during class time before reporting to the Nurse. Students are then assessed, treated, and sent back to class when they have recovered, or if necessary, they are sent home after the Nurse has contacted their parent/caregiver.
Please ensure that the school has your correct contact details. Please check the Parent Portal System and provide any updated information to parents.helpdesk@ags.school.nz.
Accident/Emergency situations
If the School is unable to contact a parent/caregiver in an emergency the student will be taken either to a nearby medical centre or an ambulance will be called.
Defibrillators (AEDs)
Automated Electronic Defibrillators are kept in key locations around campus.
