You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.
Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.
And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

NZOI ( New Zealand Olympiad in Informatics) selects a team of 4 school students annually to compete against the rest of the world at an international event annually. This year the students travel to Hungary, along with 2 leaders. 3 students are from colleges in Northshore.
These students have competed in 4 selection exams against the best competitive programmers in NZ schools to make the team. But its an expensive trip. In the past students have been almost exclusively funded by the Royal Society. With Covid and a change of direction within MBIE and the Royal Society, they will only be partially funded this year. While this is an enormous help, more money is required. If you can help with a dollar or more, please do!
About us
a) Provide training opportunities in informatics to NZ students currently enrolled in school.
b) To select students for the International Olympiad in Informatics and the EGOI
c) To foster informatics (programming) in high schools
Use of funds
Fares to the International Olympiad in Informatics for the 4 high school students and 2 leaders.
The students are chosen from a group attending a summer camp.
