Free Furniture Collection Service
Hi neighbours,
We are looking for your pre-loved good-quality clothing, homewares and furniture that you’d like to let go and donate to our shop.
If you can’t drop it off yourself, no worries, we run a free collection service for bulky donations like furniture. Please call us on 027 265 1419 (Mon - Fri 9am - 1pm) or send us a text to the same number to arrange a suitable collection day.
Smaller items can be dropped off during trading hours.
Thanks for your support!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Primary School Tutoring – North Shore
Hi neighbours,
I’m a local primary school teacher with experience teaching Years 3–6, and I’m offering a small number of after-school tutoring sessions for primary-aged students.
I can support children with:
• Reading and comprehension
• Writing skills
• Maths confidence
• Catch-up support or extension for capable learners
My focus is on helping students build confidence as well as skills, using practical strategies that work in the classroom.
📍 I’m based on the North Shore, close to Willow Park Primary School.
⏰ Current availability: Thursdays at 4pm, with a few fortnightly session options also available.
$60 for 45 minute sessions.
If you’d like to chat about whether tutoring could help your child, feel free to send me a message.
