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 Reclaiming Pūtoetoe project is a bold, community-led vision to create a self-funding cultural and community space at the historic Wi Neera/Bow Street site in Raglan.
Toitū Whāingaroa recognises that achieving the flourishing partnership relationship aspired to in Te Tiriti o Waitangi requires learning, sharing and connecting.
Community members proactively reach out to Toitū Whāingaroa asking for support to become better informed as critical issues arise, both nationally and locally. Supported by our Te Tiriti o Waitangi education opportunities, community members are also leading out their own community activations.

We would love to hear from you.
