Their brief was to come up with a concept of what was important to them about living in Whaingaroa, said teacher Gabrielle Williams who first approached Raglan Arts Council about the idea back in October. “I wanted graffiti art done by the kids,” Gabrielle told the Chronicle of the project designed to get Year 7-10 youth involved in end-of-year activities both in and out of school. “There is a place for graffiti in the community.” Gabrielle and her dozen or so WeatherMap - New Zealand weather forecasts protégés were inspired by graffiti at the nearby skatebowl, and a $200 grant from SuperValue’s monthly 1st, 3rd and 5th Saturdays in Raglan 2nd and 4th Saturdays in Te Mata Further information: Raglan 825 8135 Parish Priest Fr Anselm Aherne: Frankton 847 56 88

Community Cash fund “got the ball rolling”. Then Waikato District Council came up with extra cash for paint, and graff artist Dallas Mihinui from Hamilton’s Art with Aroha was roped in as tutor. He regularly works with young people in the city on graffiti art projects to create positive images for the community. The completed mural of Whaingaroa shows not only Mt Karioi in the background with sunset, waves and a playful Maui’s dolphin but also the area school’s Maori symbol for kaitiaki or caring which was designed by two of its artists and teachers. The symbol represents one of the school values, said Gabrielle – of caring for each other and the environment. “Hopefully we can do more (community art)”, she enthused this week. Gabrielle is particularly grateful to both SuperValue and the local council for help with funding, and to the studentshttp://www.weathermap.co.nz/?p=raglan for their participation. Edith Symes
