Skinny Jump
This is a post for anyone at home who might not have access to broadband internet. SKINNY JUMP is a subsidised broadband package for people where cost is a barrier to them getting online. Have a read of the info to see if you meet the criteria.
This package is great for households with kids, and supports online learning.
To follow the process you need to connect with a local partner, currently, under Covid 19 lockdown the best group to connect with in Hamilton is – Pukete Neighbourhood House, Scott is the contact person. Raglan Town area can access this service, I am not sure about the surrounding rural areas. https://www.skinny.co.nz/jump/about/?fbclid=IwAR307d-5uWAF7mvNM3ZooXImaVo9TuidTYyLFpoJFHcDdgS5kzCb5opnvdw
