Year 1 pupils at Tawhero School had a pleasant surprise last week when they were visited by local Freemasons David Lewis and Craig Paynter.
Mr Lewis and Mr Paynter of the St Andrew Kilwinning Lodge in Whanganui delivered two new iPads to help the children with their digital learning.
Mr Lewis told the children the iPads are to help them learn and he hoped they would enjoy them.
"When you learn to use them, give me a call," he said.
"Then I will come to school and you can show me how to use them."
Assistant principal and new entrant teacher Lynette Tutty showed the visitors what the students have been learning on the devices in the classroom and said it will be very helpful to have more devices available for the children.
