The Rotary Club of Whakatu donated 16 Chromebook computers to Bronte House at Nelson College for Girls in this 2018 video. The programme has now moved onto the school grounds and has ministry funding. Lenart said selling the building with no plan for the proceeds was a “betrayal of the spirit of the gift”, and the house – classified as an educational building – could still be put to good use by the community. Trust chair person Graeme Thomas would not confirm whether the prospective buyer intended to use the building for residential or other purposes. Further details would be released once a settlement had been reached, he said.
