Laptop Appeal

With families around NZ experiencing increasing financial hardship – we have an increasing number of families who are unable to purchase laptops for their children.  We are raising funds to get these vital learning tools into their hands.  As students access classwork through an online platform – not having a device, or only having access to an outdated device puts these students at a significant disadvantage.

Since the end of 2024 WSCW has gifted 20 devices to students.  These have allowed students to keep up with the demands of online learning and complete vital assessment work at home.  These devices were purchased by generous whãnau and through money raised in our involvement in the “Cash for Scrap” initiative – which is unfortunately no longer running.

$420 would provide us with the funds to purchase a new laptop for a student in need.  We would welcome any contribution towards this sum. 

A new laptop would allow the students concerned access to the online work and resources that make up their academic courses.  It will also allow students to complete homework, research and study while at home.
