Donations to be dropped off at Otumoetai College main office, Monday-Friday 8:45am-3:20pm. Please message me if any more info is needed!

Hi!
My name is Mia Mackenzie and I am in my final year at Otumoetai College. I am part of the Special Events Committee - which runs events throughout the year, with the main one being the school ball. This year, I have decided to create an initiative that will assist students who may be struggling to purchase ball attire.

So, what I would like to ask of all you good people is - if you have any ball dresses, suits and other ball attire that you no longer need, we would be very grateful if you could donate it to Otumoetai College.

The ball attire would be free to students to borrow for the ball night - we will not be making any money at all. As the ball season approaches, some families can struggle buying both a ball ticket and attire - and we really want everyone invited to attend. This could really help out a student in need - and we would greatly appreciate your help.

Thank you so much :)

Poll: Should we scrap daylight saving?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This Sunday we'll be putting our clocks back for the end of daylight saving. Despite the benefits of an extra hour of sun during daylight saving, these clock changes commonly bring disruptions to our households and sleep - some feel that it should be scrapped altogether. What do you think?

How Often Should You Clean Your Curtains?

The frequency of cleaning curtains largely depends on a few factors such as the material of the curtains, their location, and the level of dust and pollutants in the air. As a general rule, it is recommended to clean your curtains every 6-12 months. Here are some reasons why:

1. Dust and allergens: Curtains can collect dust, dirt, and allergens over time. If you or anyone in your household suffers from allergies or asthma, it is especially important to clean your curtains regularly to prevent the accumulation of allergens that can trigger symptoms.
2. Stains and spills: Curtains can also become stained or soiled from spills, pet hair, or everyday use. Regular cleaning can help remove these stains and keep your curtains looking fresh and new.
3. Sun damage: Curtains can also become damaged over time from exposure to sunlight. Regular cleaning can help prevent sun damage and prolong the life of your curtains.
4. Odours: Curtains can also absorb odours from cooking, smoking, or pets. Regular cleaning can help eliminate these odours and keep your home smelling fresh.

However, curtains located in high-traffic areas, such as the living room or kitchen, may require more frequent cleaning, perhaps every three to six months. Curtains made of heavy fabrics, such as velvet or chenille, may also collect more dust and require more frequent cleaning.

In addition to regular cleaning, it is also recommended to vacuum your curtains regularly to remove dust and other particles. This can help to reduce the frequency of deep cleaning and extend the life of your curtains.
