Te Mata School Annual Fundraiser
Hello Heroes of Te Mata School!
We are only a month away from our big annual fundraiser and it's all steam ahead!
We are down to the last table or 2 available, so if you want to come and haven't already booked your ticket or table you had better hurry if you want to beat the villains to it!
I have attached a copy of our advertising flyer and a ticket order/donation form. Please download and fill in, or if you have an Adobe account you may be able to fill it in on your computer and just email it to our amazing secretary. Her email address is on the form. Otherwise feel free to drop it into the school. We have a letterbox outside the office if it's outside school hours.
I hope you've all got your costumes ready. I can't wait to see what heroes and villains will make their appearance.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Cleaning a heat pump
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.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
