Meet Sharlene Peri (Te Uri o Tai, Tainui) who shares “Studying at Awanuiārangi felt like being at home on my marae. It is welcoming, the facilities are exceptional (the library is incredible!) and it became a safe space to learn and grow.
I wanted a degree that would give me a relevant qualification with which to pursue whānau, hapū and iwi gains. From day one on the Humanities degree programme, I was blown away by the calibre, expertise and knowledge of the lecturers. I also appreciated having the flexibility of choosing a Major in policy or indigenous business”

With alcohol, drug use and child abuse through many low socio-economic communities, "teaching primary school children resilience is key to rising above statistics and preparing them to handle what's coming", says Hora Hora Primary School principal Pat Newman.
What do our children need? Is your child's school in "screaming need" of support?

KiwiRail Group Chief Executive Greg Miller says line improvements "would give more certainty for our customers and will make rail an option for Northland businesses and exporters to get their goods to market".
Is this a worthwhile investment? Do you think Northland businesses will benefit from this?

He said "he got such a fright that he scanned the barcode another few times to make sure he wasn't seeing anything". He got back in the car, found a quiet place to pull over and had a cup of tea from his flask before carrying on with work.
