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.
