Bicycles for kids less fortunate than ourselves

Nicki from Pyes Pa

Does anyone know of someone who does up bicycles for kids less fortunate in Tauranga? I have one here which, with a bit of TLC, will suit a 10-14 year old. Prefer to give to charity, thanks.

Hi all,
Thank you so much for sharing your concerns, story ideas, responses, and kind words to my message. We have had way more responses than we expected, so I won't be able to respond to every message right away. But over the next week, we'll aim to be in touch with those we feel we could do a story or some kind of follow up.
Thanks again,

New Facilities for Pyes Pa

I am excited to see the state-of-the-art gymnasium and sports centre looking almost complete at ACG Tauranga, which ACG college will be opening up to the local community. It's looking great!
I hope to see after school clubs such as badminton and volleyball to be held here.

Fingers crossed for a nice new indoor swimming pool this side of town to follow, I'm looking forward to Tauranga Crossing's IMAX cinemas next year too!




The following information has been copied from the ACG website:

The development has been designed to be multi-purpose and to be used not only by the school’s PE department, but also for inter-collegiate sport and the local community at large.

ACG Tauranga principal Shawn Hutchinson says the facility will be an asset for Tauranga.

“We will be reaching out and welcoming sports, cultural and community groups to talk about how we can build long-lasting partnerships – not just about using or hiring a facility, but about making real connections so that our students are a part of the wider community.”

The gym will also provide space for assemblies and school productions, as well as lunch-time and after-school recreational programmes.


The three-level gym will be located at the heart of the ACG Tauranga campus, overlooking the sports fields. The gym floor will be a multi-purpose rubber compound to suit a wide range of codes, including badminton, basketball, netball and volleyball. There will also be sufficient court space for futsal and indoor soccer.

Covered viewing areas overlooking the proposed netball and tennis courts will provide seating for up to 500 spectators. The ground floor will include courts, four changing rooms, and PE staff offices and storage. A fitness centre and open area with kitchen facilities will be housed on the first floor, with three classrooms on the second floor.

Joe Dixon, Futsal Development Officer for Waikato Bay of Plenty (WaiBOP) Football, says the facility will be an asset for the local sporting community.

“Tauranga has some really good facilities, but they are all well used,” Mr Dixon says.

“To have a new, high-quality facility such as this one can only be good for the community – especially as the city continues to grow in population.”

“It’s brilliantly located in an area where the population is rapidly growing. While there are other sporting facilities, it’s great to have this in that area around The Lakes,” says Mr Cronin, who has a grandchild at ACG Tauranga.

“To have this facility being available to the public puts the icing on the cake, and shows the benefits of independent schools being part of the community.”

Got dirty, smelly curtains?

Amy from Gate Pa

Most curtains, whether they’re casual cotton or fancier damask, are made of woven fabrics that gather dust, pet hair and dander, even mould spores.

Most curtains, whether they’re casual cotton or fancier damask, are made of woven fabrics that gather dust, pet hair and dander, even mould spores.
Over time, these things accumulate and cause your window treatments to look dirty, go mouldy and smell funny.

That accumulation can also drastically affect your indoor air quality.
Every time the curtains are opened or closed, every time a pet or person brushes against them, the dust and mould spores get disturbed and begin swirling around in your home.

Having your curtains professionally cleaned will go a long way to helping your home stay healthy.

Bring them to the team here at Curtain Clean – industry experts in cleaning curtains and blinds.
We will wash and treat your curtains and drapes for thorough dust and mould/mildew removal. We also deodorise and sanitise your curtains – removing stains, smells, mildew, allergens and anything else we can find, leaving your curtains looking and smelling good as new.

We can also repair and alter curtains and blinds.
