Solid Rimu freestanding workstation

Julie Cronin from Te Mata School Home & School Committee

Is anybody looking for a fantastic centre work island for their kitchen or maybe a bar/becue leaner, or even a workbench for arts and crafts or their garage? This would even make a great breakfast bench with bar stools.

There are about half a dozen old solid Rimu workstations from the Intermediate School Home Ec room. They have built in cupboards and shelves and despite the eye-watering baby blue paint they are in fantastic shape. The worktops are even in nearly mint condition!

The tops measure 70cm deep x 125cm wide x 80cm high. I put steel casters on mine and it's going to be great when I get the paint stripped off. And, it was only $25! Want one now, don't you?!

There are also art stations with removable top stands and casters on the bottom; single and double wooden school desks; shelves and bookcases. Plus more.

Pop into the school by the end of the week to have a look or grab one. Any left next week will be sent to the auction house and they will charge a lot more than $25!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
