Unused Stationery Needed to Help Set Up a Classroom for 9-10 Year Olds
Hi everyone,
We’re feeling super proud as our daughter, Zoë, has just landed her first job as a primary school teacher! She starts next week, teaching a lively group of 9-10-year-old boys and girls.
Zoë’s classroom budget for the year is only $100, which needs to cover essentials like stationery (coloured and plain A4 & A3 paper, felt tips, whiteboard markers, HB and coloured pencils, cellotape, Blu Tack, etc.) and even reading books. As you can imagine, this doesn’t stretch far for a class of 25+ children.
If you have any unused stationery new or old, lying around at home or books suitable for 9-10-year-olds that your kids have outgrown, Zoë would be incredibly grateful to put them to good use!
She’d be happy to come by and pick them up from you, or you’re welcome to drop them off at our place at 19 Manapau St, Meadowbank (just by the train station).
Thank you so much for supporting a new teacher and helping inspire the next generation to learn, create, and thrive! 🎨✨
Warm regards,
Simon Cope

Experienced Pet & House Sitter Available | 28 Jan – 22 Feb 2026
Hi everyone, due to a cancellation I've had a rare gap in my pet-sitting calendar open up, and would love to fill it with more pet cuddles. I am currently sitting in St Heliers and have lived in this community for many years before starting my house sitting journey, so would love to spend more time here.
A little about me:
- I’ve been a full-time house and pet sitter for 6 years, with all 5-star reviews
- I have fostered over 450 cats and kittens with the Lonely Miaow Association, and grew up on a lifestyle block with large dogs, cats, farm animals and small pets, so I’m confident with animals of all kinds (including those needing medication or extra care). I am also studying after-hours towards a Level 3 degree in Animal Care.
- I work from home 3-4 days a week (and spend the other 1-2 days as marketing manager in SPCA's Hobsonville Centre) so have plenty of time to spend with your precious pets
- As a homeowner myself, I know how important it is to feel your place and pets are in safe hands.
- This is a free sit!

Happy to answer any questions. Please message me to discuss your petsitting needs.
