Overflowing Lost and Found

Julie Cronin from Te Mata School Home & School Committee

Our lost and found is literally overflowing with polar fleece jumpers and vests, trousers, jackets (even and an adults hoody), hats, shoes, socks, lunch boxes, drink bottles and toys.

If you think you might be missing something, before you go and buy new clothes to replace missing ones, or perhaps if someone you know is missing items, come and check the lost property trolley outside the hall.

Most of the clothing items are named and your children need to check there first if they have lost something. Clothing items that aren't claimed may end up in the uniform shop at the end of term, after Gus had made the not small effort, to return them to their rightful owners. Other items will be donated to a local op shop.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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

Barbara from Raureka

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.
