Masters Study

Meet Hinerangi Busby who shares her journey with Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi.

I am a graduate of the marae-centred programme, Te Pouhono, transforming Māori communities, promoting mātauranga-a-hapū, a-iwi. My participation took me to the Bachelor of Mātauranga Māori, and then postgraduate study.

Awanuiārangi centres you. This is the nurturing space of Māori researchers, with the support of academic and professional staff; this all transpires from an authentic indigenous and traditional Māori environment.

My studies have empowered me to play a more pro-active role in whānau and hapū affairs. Instead of being angry at a past that we cannot change, let’s become part of the solution for positive change.

Tucked away in the heart of Tauranga, you’ll find an unsuspecting oasis for retirement living, The Bayview. A lovely gem that not only provides stunning views of Mount Maunganui and the harbour but is only a short drive from your favourite shops too.

It’s easy to live the lifestyle you want at The Bayview. Enjoy a game of bowls, an exercise session at the gym, or a family date at the community lounge. You'll definitely be busy keeping up old hobbies and taking on new ones, especially with our indoor pool and on-site café opening shortly.

Thanks to our village’s friendly and vibrant community, you’ll feel right at home from the get-go. But, when you do need a bit of “me time”, you can relax in your brand new, architecturally designed apartment, complete with stylish fittings and open-plan living.

With luxurious grounds and apartments, friendly neighbours and close proximity to all the best things the city has to offer – The Bayview is certainly the hidden gem of Tauranga.

To view our vibrant village, call Trudi on 0800 333 688 today.

DIY – Terracotta Bud Vases

Owner from Curtain Clean BOP Ltd

Take on the terracotta trend and sculpt a unique floral feature.


You will need:

- Modelling clay (air-drying or baking)
- Rolling pin

View more
Take on the terracotta trend and sculpt a unique floral feature.


You will need:

- Modelling clay (air-drying or baking)
- Rolling pin

- Knife
- Straw
- Fine sandpaper
- Test pot brush
- Paint test pots (we like Resene Sakura & Resene Apple Blossom)
- Resene FX Paint Effects Medium
- Small sponge
- Cord to hang


Step one: Start by rolling out your clay about 7mm thick (A). It’s important to work on a clean, non-stick surface.
Step two: Use a knife to cut a rectangle as long as you want the main shape to be, then cut a square roughly twice the width of the rectangle and two-thirds the height (B). No matter what shape you’re making, the top piece must be wider to form a dome or pocket. The backing piece always needs to be taller and have enough height to support your flora and allow for a hole.


Step three: If using air-drying clay, dip your fingers in water and wet the edges of the clay slightly – baking clay does not require any water to seal together. Take the smaller, wider square piece and make an arc over the backing piece, bringing the sides together (C). Press the sides down so the clay bonds together, then do the same along the bottom (D), making sure you still have a curved opening at the top.

We put our duly prepared form, signed by both doctors, into the Council office 5 weeks ago and still waiting! Calls to the Council have been pathetic! As our rubbish is due to be collected this Thursday and food bin is nearly full, am quite concerned. Thought Council would be more prepared or is that wishful thinking!
