About:
The Japanese word for ‘chit chat’ PechaKucha celebrates the unique stories we all have to tell. PechaKucha Nights Hamilton give a platform to a wide range of people, to speak on a diversity of topics. The model sees presenters define their own topic, with each having just 20 seconds for each of their 20 images.
Poll: Do you think a partial demolition is the right call?
One of the most recognisable buildings at Waikato Diocesan School for Girls could be demolished, except for part of the façade.
The school is asking for resource consent to knock down most of the earthquake-prone Cherrington House as part of plans to build a larger, safer administration block.
