Ako Hiko

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.
