JT Tahatika is an artist who has not only captured the imagination of the Coromandel but has also triumphed over adversity. After a traumatic brain injury from a work accident, he turned to art as a form of healing and self-expression.
Teens need resilience, confidence and a whole lot more. On a basic level, at Evakona Education, Japanese teens learn language skills for high school, including Maths. But more than that, the 42-week high school preparation programme includes life skills, focusing on the whole person
In the late 1800s, hotels were establishments that provided accommodation and food for weary travellers to break up their long journeys. In 1894, there were 1,719 hotels, or one for every 420 people in the country.
Aotearoa’s hotels have ranged from tiny little shacks to grand buildings, but one thing has always been common – the liquor or publican’s licence. No licence meant no liquor! Until the 1960s, places with a licence to sell alcohol on the premises were also required to provide accommodation for travellers. However, over time they were less about the accommodation and more about the drinking!
My body has grown and birthed a human. My body will never be the same again. Even if I lose some of this weight, I will always have saggy skin, stretch marks and saggier boobs. Knowing this, I do sometimes miss my younger face and body.

Helena James is one of the Coromandel’s treasured local weavers and has been weaving for nearly 30 years. After learning a few different methods of weaving in her life, she truly believes that traditional methods are the way to go when it comes to raranga.
Although she began learning, as many weavers do, with mop-cloth, since learning more traditional methods of Māori weaving, she said she could never go back to contemporary methods.
