Rangatahi Resilience Films

Raglan Naturally Community Trust supported six Raglan Area School rangatahi to tell community stories of resilience. The result – six short films and one powerful look at how Whāingaroa builds strength together.
Two individuals in red jackets sit in an indoor space, looking relaxed, with a sign above them reading "EXIT." Text asks, "What does resilience mean to Raglan Coastguard?"

Telling stories of resilience.

In the lead-up to the Resilient Communities forums in 2025, six senior Raglan Area School students each created a short film after interviewing local groups about how we build resilience here in Whāingaroa.

 
Along the way they’ve built skills in interviewing, filming, editing, and teamwork while connecting with community and exploring what resilience really means.
 
We acknowledge their hard work and commitment.
 
Watch and enjoy their stories below.

The Government is changing how our local governments are organised. What does this mean for Whāingaroa? Could council mergers improve efficiency? How do we make sure local communities keep a strong voice in decision-making?
Raglan Naturally Community Trust is leading a community-wide response focused on how to best support our community in the face of rapidly rising fuel prices and cost of living challenges.
The Raglan Naturally Community Trust appointed its Community Wellbeing Connector (CWC) in September 2022. The initial CWC role was funded by the Ministry of Social Development for 12 months. In 2026, the CWC role has been re-established as a key part of our Cost of Living Community Response.

We would love to hear from you.
