Bought these brand new before we shifted from Wellington to our Masterton homestead and then found they were a bit short for our family and formal lounges or guestroom. So never used, immaculate condition and beautifully box-pleated and lined.

Measurements are close to but not utterly exact as it's hard to precisely measure already-made-up drapes.
3 x 2050 length x 1100 wide
1 x 2050 length x 1420 wide
1 x 2050 length x 1930 wide
1 x 2050 length x 1460 wide

The photos show the slight satin sheen plus width of the two-tone stripes plus the lovely box-pleats and the immaculate cotton lining. We have something similar hanging in our formal lounge so if you'd like to view please contact me on 0274-579-480.

Keen to sell fast as we're renovating and need to clear out cupboards.

Cheers

Jane

MTLT announces $600,000 grant for local education
Masterton Trust Lands Trust (MTLT) will contribute $600,000 over the next three years to fund a
significant education project, which will be developed by the local education community.
The funding was announced at an information session this week for principals, boards of trustees and others involved locally in education at early childhood, primary, secondary and tertiary levels, and is
part of a new funding allocation strategy that will start in April next year.

MTLT Education Committee Chair Christine Brewster said the new approach focuses higher levels of funding on a single area where the Trust and education community considers it can have the greatest impact in addressing a specific problem or need.
“This approach of making an ‘impact investment’ will allow us to work with the local education sector to make a real difference towards the learning achievements and wellbeing of young people in our community.”

Mrs Brewster said the project will be led by the Whakaoriori Kāhui Ako collective of local education providers.

“Developing this new approach has coincided with the formation of the Whakaoriori Kāhui Ako, which is well placed to be our collaborative partner in this initiative.”
Fernridge School Principal and Whakaoriori Kāhui Ako Lead Principal Janine Devenport said she was “blown away” by the level of investment MTLT are providing for local education through this funding.
“This is amazing support for the education of the young people of our community. The possibilities and potential impact this funding will provide are massive and will support us in our key role of creating great kids. I’m really impressed in the way that Masterton Trust Lands Trust continues to provide opportunities for our tamariki to shine.”
