A company that has an aim of furthering the education of Waimarino children is Winstone Pulp Industries at Karioi. Winstones recently made j«Kenerous cash donation to t'^.akune and Raetihi schools for the purchase o computers. Mill Manager Kit Wilson presented the computers to each school at separate assemblies which were attended by teachers and students. Ohakune School chose an Apple 1 le computer for their use while Raetihi School chose two Commodore 64's, both models being popular standard computers on the market. With a contribution of $450 from the Ohakune School PTA, the school was also able to purchase a disc drive and printer plus some software. Ohakune School's princi-
pal Ross Richdale. is delighted with the new addition to the facilities and sees some tremendous possibilities for future education.
The computer will be invaluable for children needing remedial reading. extra tuition in maths or any other subject.
The entire school has access to the computer which will eventually have programs for all levels of learning.
