Why we love Te Mata School ❤️
Te Mata is a school that celebrates children. If you have ever been to one of our assemblies, or even near the school when we have one going on, you will be familiar with the cheering and enjoyment from beginning to end.
We are an academic school; a sporting school; a musical school; a mathematical school; a scientific school; a literary school; a culinary school; an artistic school; an interesting school; an entertaining school; a celebratory school and so much more. Te Mata is a school where every child counts and is celebrated.
If you are local with a 5 or 6 year old (or about to be 5 year old) or know someone local, or looking to move to out beautiful village, with a little one, looking for a great school, come see ours and meet our team of amazing staff and teachers.
We’d love to meet you.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

Cleaning a heat pump
Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
