Committee

We are a group of volunteers running this organisation with passion and purpose. We represent a vast and exciting cultural pool of backgrounds: some of us were born in Waitaki or elsewhere in New Zealand, or came from overseas.

Our aim is to make you feel at home, confident and happy in your new environment.

We often take part in our own events, so we hope to meet you in person one day.
