Items up for grabs from Te Mata School
Te Mata School have a number of items available to go to good homes.
There are computer desks, school desks, a table, shelves, even a working organ (the chairs that were available are gone but more will be available soon). Please pop in to see the head caretaker Gus Keip.
The items are currently taking up space in the music room and we really need that space.
For just a small donation you could take home a tidy desk for your kids to do their homework on, or even a computer desk for you bigger kids or yourselves to work at.
Are you musician, or do you now someone who is, and would love a piano organ?
Perhaps you need some new planter boxes? Desks work well for small planters. Just take the top off and line it with plastic. Or perhaps you need some extra wall storage. Take the legs off and hang the desk on the wall with the top facing out.They can be top or side hinged cubby's or cupboards.
Do you need display shelves or bookshelves? They are available too! We have a rocket! Everyone needs a rocket!
All any of the items cost is a small donation. Whatever you think is fair. Any amount will be gratefully accepted.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
