The Pukekohe town square has been adorned with a mural to honour te ao Māori and Mātauranga Māori’s place in the heart of the Franklin district.

Local artist Jimmy James Kouratoras designed a mural to cover the town centre wall on Devon Lane with the brightest of colours to catch the eye and warm the heart, he said.

The mural is the first of what is hoped to be a town-wide project, led by Pukekohe High School art teacher Catherine Tamihere.

With funding from the Franklin Local Board, Tamihere was able to commission Kouratoras’ mural and get 20 year 10 students alongside him, brushes in hand.

“In the mural, there is reference to Tāne Mahuta, the first hei tiki. There are connections with te reo Māori and cuisenaire rods, there is whakapapa in there, there is Te Puia, there is Tawhia the male element, and the teachings of Te Wheke.”

Have you seen the mural on Devon Lane? What do you think?

Karaka School teacher on a mission to raise funds to fight gut cancers

A Karaka School teacher who has lost at least four family members to bowel and stomach cancer is on a mission to raise money for The Gut Foundation.

Kim Sutton is preparing to bike, hike and raft 243 km from the West Coast to Christchurch in just six days, to raise $2000 for the organisation supporting people who suffer from gut cancers.

Sutton is an adventurer by nature - she has done nine of the 10 great walks and has the tenth one scheduled for December this year.

But since deciding to take on this challenge for the Gut Foundation, she’s been on a new journey, learning just how far the cancer spread throughout her family.

“My mum's dad passed away from bowel cancer when my mum was 20 years old so unfortunately didn't get to meet him,” she said.

“Through doing this fundraising and talking to family members I've found out more have been affected by it.

“It's made my connection to people who have suffered from the various gut cancers even stronger and more meaningful.”

Sutton has managed to raise $870 so far.

Gut cancers include oesophageal, stomach, liver, gallbladder, bile duct, pancreatic, and bowel cancers.

Collectively, gut cancers are the most common type of cancer in New Zealand, with more than 5,700 new cases diagnosed each year. Sadly, more than half of those diagnosed will not survive beyond 5 years.
