Race to Survive: New Zealand sees nine teams tackle some of the region’s harshest terrain over 40 days, having to navigate almost 250km. Having to source their own food and without GPS, managing ev-

Making music inexorably FIONA NELSON KC Penelomay is a Motueka singer/songwriter who has recently released her first album on Spotify. KC is a Year 10 student at Motueka High School, and she started playing music when she was five years old, on a ukelele. She doesn’t read music and plays by ear, and by the time she was eight she had switched to playing the guitar. On 23 March, she launched her album Inexorable, which she wrote and produced at home. For KC, having her music on Spotify is all about exposure.
