Across the Group we're deeply involved in supporting our communities to thrive and prosper - a key part is our commitment to improving learning.
What Now
What Now the well known children's television programme has a new character proudly brought to you by New Zealand Post. Red, the Mailbot scoots onto the set each week, delivering mail from children across the country - including the eagerly-awaited prize-winning 'Red's Hot Letter of the Week'. With the help of New Zealand Post every child who sends mail to the show receives a posted response from What Now that includes a collectable postcard for kids to send on from home. We want to share the magic of sending and receiving with the children of New Zealand.
What Now screens TV2 Sundays 8-10am.
Find out more about Red the Mailbot.
The Amazing Journey
The Amazing Journey is an education resource for children and teachers which includes information about New Zealand Post and how a letter gets from the sender to the receiver.
