Offering a peek behind the curtain, Ryman have released behind the scenes footage from their recent film. Showcasing their passion for life, Ryman residents from New Zealand and Australia feature in the film. Let’s meet the stars.

“If I hear music, I just want to dance – body seems to just move!” says dancer Audrey, 84. Poet Brian, 86, says “Poetry helps me to question and understand the meaning of life”, followed by a witty “– haven’t worked out what it means yet”.

As their residents blaze their own trails, Ryman matches that pioneering spirit. “Ryman villages offer living choices to suit everyone so that you can live the way you want.

New Housing Development Marfell.

Charles from Lynmouth - Moturoa

Have just been up for second look. After first look thought just a repeat of pretty average double units as per earlier development. Hopefully OK if sold privately but if they end as rental units I fear for future. New road progressing. Curb and channel in but no sealing yet. Lot of work still to … View moreHave just been up for second look. After first look thought just a repeat of pretty average double units as per earlier development. Hopefully OK if sold privately but if they end as rental units I fear for future. New road progressing. Curb and channel in but no sealing yet. Lot of work still to do so hard to see any units being available soon. Note no carports or garages at moment so that appears short sighted although there is possibly room at front of lots. Will watch with interest.

Gone are the days of getting one qualification out of school to see you through your working life. Now, upskilling, online courses and on-the-job training are all part of making your way up the career ladder. 

We want to talk to people who have completed micro-credentials, bitesize qualifications for specific skills. 

Perhaps you've pieced together a full qualification by doing online courses, or maybe you've taken a workshop rather than investing in a six-month course. We'd love to hear from you - email josephine.franks@stuff.co.nz
