All Y4 – 6 classes will be in a 1:1 digital programme (1 Chromebook device to 1 student).
New Windsor is part of the Ako Hiko Cluster. The Ako Hiko Education Trust is a charity that has bulk purchasing power and can negotiate an affordable Chromebook package that allows all families to have access to a device at a lower price.
Through the Ako Hiko Trust, New Windsor families can purchase the Chromebooks that the students use in class.Families can pay a $40 deposit then weekly payments ($2 – $7) to the Trust or pay the full price upfront.
The cost of the Chromebooks varies each year.
The bundle will usually give you:
- Chromebook that is durable and longer-lasting.
- 4GB RAM
- 32GB Local Storage
- Bag with 6 years warranty
- 3 years Manufacturer’s Warranty
- 3 years of Manaiakalani Device Care ( 3 repair claims or 1 replacement)
- 2 years of Technician access.
It has been our experience that devices supplied and processed through Ako Hiko have been the most successful in supporting the teaching and learning programme.
