❤️ Proud Local Series | Thank you, Jackson Rogers!

Recently, we handed the torch over to some of Te Hiku’s rangatahi, allowing them to lead our Proud Local series and share the stories of people who love our rohe.

Kaitāia College student Jackson Rogers took on the challenge, choosing people in his life who he felt represented what it means to be a proud local.

Among those he interviewed was his grandfather, Peter Jackson, former editor of the Northland Age and a great local storyteller.

For Jackson, the experience was about discovering things he didn't already know about people close to him.

“What I enjoyed most about doing the interviews was learning new things about my interviewees. Something interesting about the people that I interviewed is they all really enjoyed being interviewed.”

A big thank you to Jackson for helping us share the voices of proud locals across Te Hiku!❤️

And if you're a rangatahi who enjoys meeting people and hearing their stories, we'd love to hear from you!

Five on the Fly | Meet Nara from Grey Heron 👋

This month we caught up with Nara, founder and Head Instructor at Grey Heron Pilates & Fitness Studio in Kaingaroa.

Far North raised and now raising her own children in Kaingaroa, Nara’s journey into Pilates began after experiencing herniated discs and having to change the way she moved.

Pilates became an important part of her rehabilitation, but getting to sessions meant travelling more than an hour from home.

That experience planted an idea: why shouldn’t this kind of movement be more accessible here in the Far North?

In our latest Five on the Fly interview, Nara shares the journey behind Grey Heron, the challenges of growing a local business, and her hopes for Te Hiku.

Five on the Fly is our quick Q&A with local business owners, sharing the people and stories behind businesses here in Te Hiku.
