If you leave your PC on you might be able to set it up so you connect to your pc from the school mac, using a program that is usually used for long distance PC maintenance.

The program itself should be fairly small, so you could easily download it on the school mac (if it works on macs, that is), but you will have have quite some problems playing that way. Ping to send commands from mac to your pc, ping for your pc to send stuff to wow server, ping for wow server to send it to your pc, ping for your pc to send screen info back to mac.

Basically, you'd have double the normal MS. That + you'll most likely experience some mouse delays and the like, but it could work. The mac wouldn't even need a graphic card for it to work because the PC does all the rendering and then just sends it to the school mac, meaning the mac has no real rendering work, just displaying the stream from your pc.

I used to have a program for it, but I can't remember what it was called. Google remote desktop and you might find something useful.
