Hono Mai
A digital connectivity project by the GCSN
To support ākonga, based in the greater Christchurch area by providing affordable home Internet connectivity and a fit-for-purpose device in their homes to support learning and connection.
We believe that providing digital access to ākonga will support them to be engaged, successful learners who are connected to their school and have access to opportunities and support that would otherwise be unavailable without internet connectivity.
