Mr G’s final ‘HOME’ artwork “Kotahitanga” embodies the essence of Waitangi Day

University of Waikato - Tauranga

"Kotahitanga is a word that gets used so flippantly these days and I really don't want it to lose the power and mana that the word carries." - Mr G, speaking at the mural presentation of his latest artwork.

Thanks to the staff, students, friends and whānau who joined us today for the unveiling of Mr G's mural, "Kotahitanga", to Matua Tamati for the karakia. Mihi to Jake Angus for presenting our koha to Mr and Mrs G too

We can't wait for Trimester A to begin to see the reaction of our tauira and wider campus community, when they engage with this incredible piece.

Mr G, of all the 'canvasses' in Tauranga Moana, thank you for choosing ours. We have enjoyed having you and Milly on campus and look forward to seeing you both again.

Tauranga City Council, mihi to Gareth and Reena, thank you for your support and the partnership that has seen this final piece of the 'HOME' exhibition come to fruition.

And finally, thank you Joseph Macfarlane and Marcelle Wharerau for all your mahi in making this happen.

Come and check out the mural whenever you're around our CBD Campus!

Good Warm Home Loan ANZBank

Anna from Mount Maunganui

Just advising that anyone who is renovating should apply first this loan - even if they don’t need it. With the escalating costs AND hidden problems that you may come across you can go well over your budget and find this 1% interest loan useful. It is for 3 years and specifically targets items like double glazing

You don’t see this Ioan on the front page of there website and have to read carefully terms ad conditions.

If anyone has had success in getting their loan halfway through their renovation I would love to hear from you
