History of the Work in
New Zealand

Centre
Activities

In 1974 the first Australasian Centre was established in Adelaide. The Adelaide group was active for about five years, during which time it also worked together with a small group of pupils in Auckland, NZ, with a Centre subsequently being established in Auckland in 1979. After this period of activity in Adelaide, many of the pupils in the group dispersed to various parts of Australia, New Zealand and Europe. Although there were no formal activities of the School in Australia again until 1988, the group in Auckland grew steadily, and became the main centre of activity in Australasia for many years.

Today there are now approximately 15 pupils and members residing throughout New Zealand, with another 25 pupils and members throughout the eastern states of Australia.

Despite the large distances between New Zealand and other Centres of the School throughout the world, the Work in the New Zealand is strongly linked together and supported by pupils from throughout Australasia and many other centres of the International School of the Golden Rosycross world-wide.

The activities in New Zealand are undertaken with enthusiasm and vigour by a small but very active and dedicated group of pupils and members. Regular pupil and member activities are held at the Karapiro Centre, as well as public  presentations and introductory information courses, which are held regularly at various public venues in both Hamilton and Auckland.
