Welcome to Issue 27 of Coromind! Coromind continues to grow as a strong media platform for positive community stories, education, and the arts, and we’re excited about what’s ahead.
Over the summer of December 2024 and January 2025, the Coromind ArtWorks Fest took place in Whitianga, marking a milestone for us as our first physical space.
I liked the sound of classical songs, but I had no notion of becoming a ‘proper’ musician. I knew I didn’t have the patience to truly master it, and decided at university that it was likely a hobby I’d keep casually on the side.
Tucked along the south coast of Hahei lies one of the Coromandel’s secret gems. Running from Great Barrier Island through the peninsula to the Kaimai Range, the Coromandel Ranges are the remnants of ancient volcanoes – a landscape quite literally born of fire. Over 18 million years, this dynamic landscape has evolved into a series of secret caves, archways and hidden bays shaped by the relentless force of the ocean.
Noah Greenfield (Table Tennis)
Hi, I’m Noah Greenfield but my friends call me Greeny. I’m 13 years old and I live in Cooks Beach. I love sports, particularly surfing, football and table tennis. This year I’m playing for the Junior Boys Mercury Bay Football Club team, now that I’m at Mercury Bay Area School. Last year, my Whenuakite team lost 6-0 to a Tairua team, but by the end of the season, we won 1-0. I also won the Most Valuable Player trophy that year. I go surfing at Hot Water Beach as much as I can – I love being in the water, talking to friends, splashing around and catching waves.
