The convergence of Māori and European cultures at Te Whanganui-o-Hei/Mercury Bay in 1769 stands as a pivotal gathering point that embodies the essence of our diverse and multicultural nation’s inception.
James Cook explored the Firth and the Waihou River in November 1769, noticing the extensive settlement and visiting a riverbank pā. Remembering the River Thames in England, Cook gave our river the same name. (In 1947 the name changed to Waihou, with only the Firth keeping the Thames name.)
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
Preserving Tradition and Learning from the Masters
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.
