On 1 June 2022 New Zealand issued a set of stamps and a mini sheet marking the 100th anniversary of Te Kura, formerly known as The Correspondence School. This is a distance learning program and in the pre-internet days was closely affiliated with the New Zealand postal service.

One of the stamps shows a section of  New Zealand’s oldest lighhtouse, Tiritiri Matangi L/H which is located on a small island northeast of the city of Auckland. 

Thanks to Mike DePaz for bring this issue to our attention.

On 3 Feb 2021 New Zealand Post issued a set of 9 stamps in a series named “Holiday at Home” to promote domestic tourism. Each of the stamps features a different area of New Zealand and one of them shows a stylized view of Castlepoint L/H on the Wairarapa coast. This lighthouse was built in 1913 on the southeast coast of New Zealand’s North Island near the town of the same name.

Thanks to Jaap for the information about this issue.
